Thrice Is Nice: Nicotra Unloads 3 Homers Thursday, June 3rd , 2049 Chris Nicotra went yard three times in a Arizona Desert Storm victory over the Yellowstone Super Volcano at Volcano Ballpark. "I was in a groove," he said. "Every pitch they tossed up there looked like a grapefruit." For the day, the Arizona first baseman went 3-for-4 against Yellowstone with 7 RBIs and 4 runs scored in a brilliant display of power hitting that led the Desert Storm to the 13-3 win. "I tell you what. I'm shocked because I didn't think that last ball had enough to get out," he told BNN reporters in the clubhouse following the game. "I thought it was just going to be a long out." Chris Nicotra flied out in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Ramon Jacquez in the 3rd, walked in the 5th, hit a GRAND SLAM off Phil Hubner in the 6th and hit a two-run home run off Fidel Nunez in the 8th. Nicotra is hitting .303 for the season with 27 home runs, 60 RBIs and 39 runs scored. He has 64 hits in 211 at-bats and played in 54 games. |
