Blast Off! 3 HR for Zuniga Friday, August 12th , 2078 Players don't hit three home runs in a game very often and when they do, it is something to celebrate. After today, Luis Zuniga can celebrate. The Akron Pickets left fielder powered three into the stands at Ballpark of Akron against the Jersey City Sea Serpents. "It's rare that you actually try to hit a home run," Zuniga told reporters after the game. "Most of the time you fail, if you really try to hit one. But today, I was really trying on that last one." In all, he was 3-for-5 as the Pickets toppled Jersey City by a score of 13-5, knocking in 5 runs and scoring 4 times. "He is blessed with a natural home run swing," Akron manager said. "He gets the ball up in the air." Luis Zuniga hit a solo-shot off Min-han Lee in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Min-han Lee in the 2nd, grounded out in the 4th, grounded out in the 6th and hit a two-run home run off Tony Arauza in the 8th. This year, Zuniga is batting .380 with 11 home runs and 33 RBIs. |
