Bang-up Game: Gonzalez Slams 3 Homers Sunday, April 19th , 2048 Gregorio Gonzalez of the Red Storm won the battle against Arizona pitching, but lost the war. He hit three out of the park at Desert Storm Stadium, got his name in the league record book, but Lansing came up short in the win column, losing to the Desert Storm, 9-7. The Lansing first baseman was red-hot, the ball just exploded off his bat all day long. "I don't try to hit homers," he said. "I try to go out there and have good at-bats. If I put a good swing on the ball, then 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. I just try to have good at-bats." For the game, the two-time All-Star Gonzalez went 3 for 5 with 6 RBIs and 3 runs scored. Where does he rank this day in his career? "It's up there," Gonzalez said. "I'll put it up there in the upper echelon, despite the loss." Gregorio Gonzalez grounded out in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Won-hyung Kim in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Won-hyung Kim in the 6th, hit a three-run home run off Esteban Vega in the 7th and flied out in the 9th. This season, Gonzalez is hitting .333 with 5 home runs. |
