Going, Going, Gone! Alemán Hits 3 Homers
Saturday, July 16th, 2022
Armando Alemán of the Baristas brutalized El Paso pitching, parking three home runs into the bleachers in today's 12-10 victory. The Silver Lake first baseman was red-hot, the ball just exploded off his bat all day long.
"I don't try to hit homers," he said. "I try to go out there and have good at-bats. If I put a good swing on the ball, then it is going to go out of the park. I didn't try to hit the first one or the second one or the third one. I just try to have good at-bats."
For the game he went 4 for 5 with 6 RBIs and 3 runs scored.
"Too much Armando Alemán today," Diablos manager said. "That's simply what the game boils down to." "Phenomenal!" said one impressed spectator. That one word says it all.
Armando Alemán singled in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Tommy Bartlett in the 4th, flied out in the 6th, hit a three-run home run off Carlos Vega in the 8th and hit a two-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 9th.
Thus far this season Alemán has hit .319 with 14 home runs, 41 RBIs and scored 39 times.
