Magallanes Smashes 3 Homers for Murraysville Friday, September 21st , 2063 It's a rare event when a player hits three homers in a game and rarer still when he does it and loses. It happened at Red Bull Stadium, as Bobby Magallanes of the Murraysville Peacocks unloaded three times against the Black Mountain Mountaineers but was still bumped off, 20-4, by the Mountaineers. "We were lucky to win today," said Black Mountain skipper Mario Encarnación. "You can't give up that many home runs and expect to win on a regular basis." For the game, the Murraysville center fielder had 3 hits in 4 at-bats, scored 3 times, and drove in 3. Magallanes spoke to the writers in the postgame press room with mixed feelings, saying he was sad to lose but happy to be seeing the ball well. "I was just trying to swing early and often to give myself a chance," he said. "I let the pitcher supply all the power and try to figure out how to get the bat on the ball." Bobby Magallanes hit a solo-shot off Felix Garcia in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Felix Garcia in the 3rd, grounded out in the 5th and hit a solo-shot off Felix Garcia in the 7th. To date this season, Magallanes is hitting .351 with 4 home runs. |
