de Leon Smacks 5 Hits for Partons
Friday, August 1st , 2025
A jubilant Oscar de Leon joined the postgame press conference at Ballpark of Bangor to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Bangor Lumberjacks pitching staff he had just vanquished.
"It may not have looked like it," said the Dollywood Partons left fielder, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different."
That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-5 hitting performance, which led to the 11-1 Partons win.
"He made it look easy," said Shawn Banks, manager of the Lumberjacks. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."
Oscar de Leon doubled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, doubled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and hit a GRAND SLAM off Elian Cason in the 9th.
This year, de Leon is hitting .326 with 47 hits, 13 home runs, 31 RBIs and has scored 35 runs.
