Gonzáles Smacks 3 Out of the Park
Saturday, August 1st , 2015
Whatever Juan Gonzáles ate for breakfast before his game against the Odessa Oilmen, it gave him some impressive power.
The St. Joseph right fielder smacked three balls up and out of the park at Henderson Grounds. His home run barrage helped the Riders defeat the Oilmen, 12-2.
"When they throw it in your wheelhouse, you've got a shot at a homer," he told BNN reporters after the game. "I got three shots today and nailed them all."
On his 3-homer day, he went 3-for-5, scored 3 times, drove in 6 and put on a display that history will remember.
Juan Gonzáles flied out in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Bryan Butler in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Bryan Butler in the 5th, struck out in the 6th and hit a GRAND SLAM off Jim Unknown in the 7th.
So far this season, Gonzáles has 8 home runs and a .211 batting average.
