Gómez Swats 3 Homers Sunday, June 25th , 2051 Hitting three home runs in a game is usually something to celebrate, but there was no celebration to be found at Williams Brice Stadium after the hitting barrage from Juan Gómez. The Calgary Cowboys dropped the contest 10-6 to the Chula Vista Tacos, leaving Gómez with only a historical footnote as consolation. Juan is blessed with a natural home run swing so he gets the ball up in the air real quickly," Calgary manager Jack Wolochow said after the loss. "It's just a shame we couldn't win the game, too. I'm sure it spoils the day a little for him." Along with putting three in the stands, Gómez went 3-for-4 with 4 RBIs and 4 runs scored. "It's rare that you actually try to hit a home run," he told reporters after the game. "Mostly you'll fail if you really try to hit one, but today I tried on the last one." Juan Gómez hit a two-run home run off Bobby Cochran in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Bobby Cochran in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Bobby Cochran in the 5th, walked in the 7th and flied out in the 9th. Looking at his season stats, Gómez has compiled a .332 batting average and a .402 on-base percentage, while hitting 20 home runs and driving in 48 runs. |
