Redondo Raps 3 Homers Against Sugar Kings Thursday, June 5th , 2053 The old superstition that "bad news comes in threes" certainly came true for the Havana Sugar Kings. Osaka second baseman Juan Redondo tripled up on the home runs to propel the Takoyaki to a win, 5-4, at Sugardome II. "We had our chances to win the game, but we just didn't come through," Havana manager The Baron said. "Redondo hit the heck out of the ball." In addition to the homers, Redondo collected 5 hits in 6 at-bats, 3 RBIs and scored 3 runs. "Easy swings get you home runs," he said after the game. "I kept telling myself not to press. They have to be nice and easy swings." Juan Redondo singled in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Nick Rennie in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Nick Rennie in the 4th, struck out in the 7th, doubled in the 9th and hit a solo-shot off Rick Licea in the 11th. This season in 53 games, Redondo is batting .402 with 9 home runs, 36 RBIs and has scored 36 times. |
