Buffington Swats 3 Homers Friday, May 30th , 2053 Trajano Buffington went the distance three times in the Sarasota-Portland tilt at Walker Stadium, but the Sweeties lost, 16-10. "Gosh, it's a shame we didn't win this game," Buffington said later. For the day, the Sarasota left fielder went 3-for-4 against Portland with 5 RBIs and 3 runs scored in a brilliant display of power hitting. "I was in a groove and every pitch they tossed up there looked like a basketball," he said. "I tell you what, I was surprised because I didn't think the last ball had enough to get out. I thought it was just going to be a long out." Trajano Buffington hit a solo-shot off Danny Mendez in the 2nd, hit a two-run home run off Danny Mendez in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Steve Bronson in the 5th, walked in the 7th and flied out in the 9th.
