Rodríguez Socks It to Wrexham 3 Times Tuesday, August 8th , 2051 Manny Rodríguez went on an explosive hitting spree against the Wrexham Dragons at Shaolin Grounds today, launching a trio of blasts to lead the Ottawa Fat Cats to the 9-7 win. The right fielder finished 4-for-4 with 3 runs scored and 4 RBI. "It was just one of those days," Rodríguez said in a postgame interview. "I don't know how to explain it. I'm just putting a good swing on the ball." Wrexham skipper Matsusuke Takahashi said Rodríguez was "locked-in." "We made some pretty good pitches," he said. "Those first two homers were exactly where the pitcher wanted to put them. He's just hot right now -- you've just got to tip your hat to him." Manny Rodríguez hit a solo-shot off Scott Niles in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Scott Niles in the 5th, walked in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Archie Sullivan in the 8th. This year Rodríguez has batted at a .372 pace with 29 hits, 8 home runs, 16 RBIs and scored 24 times. |
