Hat Trick of Home Runs for Kent Thursday, July 27th , 2051 Fans seated in the bleacher section at Illinois Riverfront Park were taking cover all day long as Bobby Kent zeroed in on them, rattling three long blasts off the seats in a display of Herculean power. The big game from the El Paso second baseman helped the Diablos take the victory, 18-8, over the Roy Eagle Squadron. "I told myself not to press on the last one," he told reporters in the postgame press conference. "I knew I couldn't force it -- it has to be a nice easy swing." For the game, he collected 3 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 8 and scored 3 runs. Bobby Kent struck out in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Carlos Scott in the 3rd, walked in a run in the 4th, hit a three-run home run off Leslie Foster in the 5th, walked in the 6th and hit a three-run home run off Sergio Garza in the 7th. This year Kent is batting .232 with 6 home runs and 19 RBIs. |
