1.   The first hit came just before half-time.

2.   And frequently the big hit comes from Ichiro Suzuki.

3.   Both hits came off splitters.

4.   But after two weeks of saying the big hits would come, hoping they would come, they finally did.

5.   But no one imagined that Ogea, whose last hit came in high school in Louisiana, would do it thanks to his hitting.

6.   But the hit came after walks to Omar Vizquel and Robbie Alomar.

7.   But when the hits do not come, the game changes.

8.   But then, with the suddenness of a summer storm, came five hits in a row.

9.   Fernandez thanked them, then told the world that he was the reason they lost the game, even though the winning hit came off righthander Charles Nagy.
