Carl Sexton Bashes Three over the Wall
Saturday, July 18th , 2054
Carl Sexton brutalized the Lanchaster Farmstormers pitching staff, launching three home runs in the 13-7 Olympia victory at Little Phoenix Park. The Olympia Marshalls center fielder was red-hot, the ball just exploding off his bat all day.
"I don't try to hit homers," he said later. "I try to go out there and put a good swing on the ball, and sometimes 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."
For the game, he went 4-for-4 with 5 RBIs and 5 runs scored.
"Too much Carl Sexton today," Farmstormers manager Jerry Harris said. "That's my assessment of the game. That's what our problems boiled down to."
Carl Sexton hit a solo-shot off Cole Merritt in the 1st, walked in the 2nd, hit a three-run home run off Reynaldo GarcĂa in the 3rd, walked in the 5th, doubled in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Augusto Vega in the 9th.
This season, Sexton is hitting .318 with 20 home runs.
