| Breaking News |  | Tuesday, June 9th, 2009: 5-5 Day for Tribin
"It was like I was hitting little league pitching," said Miguel Tribin after his 5-hit performance against the Frijoles de Dios. "No offense meant to Guadalupe, but it was like I was back in little league again. I could see the ball that well. But this wasn't a kid league park, it was Torrenas Ballpark."
The Zapopan catcher had a fantastic day at the plate, knocking out 5 hits in 5 at-bats and pacing his club to a 6-1 victory.
His manager elaborated after the game to the press, saying, "Miguel worked the entire offseason on trying to shorten his swing and stay inside the ball and the hard work is paying off in base hits."
"That's what I'm trying to do," Tribin said. "Be quick to the ball and let it travel a little farther so I get a better look at it."
M. Tribin doubled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off T. Saucedo in the 9th.
Tribin is currently batting .188 with 5 home runs and 33 RBIs.

 | Thursday, April 30th, 2009: Roldán Gets No-Hitter Against Zapopan
The Mérida Adelantados were only hoping for a solid outing from José Roldán, instead the 28-year-old pitcher tossed a no-hitter against the Zapopan Torrenas. Using a brilliant mix of offspeed pitches and fastballs, Roldán kept the Zapopan hitters off balance all game long in the 2-0 victory at Adelantados Ballpark. The Mérida hurler fanned 4 and walked 1 in his record-making performance.
"I felt pretty good throughout the game," he said after his spectacular outing for the Adelantados. "As I was going into the ninth inning, I was not nervous. I knew I had a chance to do something special."
That something special got his name in the league record books.
This season Roldán has worked 76 innings with 50 strikeouts en route to a 4-5 record and a 4.86 ERA.
