Navedo Clobbers 3 HR Against Armadillos Tuesday, September 4th , 2063 Some days you can't have it all, as Joplin Fireballs left fielder Victor Navedo discovered when he cracked three homers against the Amarillo Armadillos, and still lost. "I have mixed emotions about this game," he said. "It's great to hit three homers, but it's hard to be happy when you lose the game." The 22-year-old got his name in the league record books, but the Armadillos walked away with the triumph, 9-7, at The Firepit. Navedo finished the day with 4 hits in 6 at-bats and 5 RBIs. "I got three balls to hit and nailed all three of them," he said in the postgame interview. Victor Navedo doubled in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Ray Lovelace in the 3rd, grounded out in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Frans van der Meer in the 7th, hit a three-run home run off Jonathan Huitt in the 8th and flied out in the 11th. This season, Navedo is batting .285 with 123 hits, 33 home runs, 61 RBIs, .354 OBP and has scored 78 runs. |
