Navarro Belts 5 Hits
Wednesday, July 9th , 2025
Northwest Arkansas third baseman Mario Navarro could do no wrong in his team's 14-5 win over the RoughRiders, as he collected 5 hits.
"Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," RoughRiders skipper Mike Breyman said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts."
Navarro agreed, saying that getting ahead early in the counts was "the key" to his game.
"Once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get a better pitch to hit," he said. "You know the pitcher has to come in with it. And you're ready."
Mario Navarro singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off Manny Sánchez in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and grounded out in the 9th.
Navarro is hitting at a .304 mark this season. His stats show 2 home runs, 25 RBIs and 20 runs scored. He has played 63 games for the Naturals.
