Cortéz Raps 3 HR Against Jesters Wednesday, October 5th, 2022 Bombs away! Eureka bombardier Juan Jose Cortéz set his sights on the stands and blasted three balls over the fence in a 10-9 win over the Jersey Jesters. It was a powerful performance that should keep the fans at The Royal Court at Jersey Yards buzzing for days. He spoke to the writers in the postgame press room and said, "I guess you could say I was a good guesser today, especially on the last one. I was ahead in the count, so I got set for a certain pitch, and got it ... all of it." For the game the Eureka second baseman had 3 hits in 5 at-bats, drove in 5, and scored 3 runs. Juan Jose Cortéz hit a two-run home run off Tom Owens in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Tom Owens in the 2nd, struck out in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Robert Savage in the 7th and grounded out in the 8th.
