González Rocks Beach Dogs for 3 HRs Friday, August 25th , 2051 Hitting three home runs in a game is usually something to celebrate, but there was no celebration to be found at Flatulence Field after the hitting barrage from Manny González. The Wrexham Dragons dropped the contest 16-15 to the Destin Beach Dogs, leaving González with only a historical footnote as consolation. Manny is blessed with a natural home run swing so he gets the ball up in the air real quickly," Wrexham manager Matsusuke Takahashi 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, González went 4-for-5 with 5 RBIs and 3 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." Manny González was hit by a pitch in the 1st, hit a three-run home run off Steve Elliott in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Steve Elliott in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off James Sawyer in the 7th and flied out in the 9th. González is batting .308 this year with 23 home runs, 84 RBIs and 78 runs scored. He has 108 hits in 351 at-bats. |
