Alex Melecio Drills 3 HR in One Game Sunday, July 14th , 2080 Anyone wearing a glove and sitting in the bleachers for today's Dukes-Naturals game had a good chance at snagging a home run ball. Sault Ste. Marie shortstop Alex Melecio thrice sent eager fans scurrying to catch a souvenir, helping lead the Sault Ste. Marie to a win, 9-3, over Salton City. "Hey, the three homers were great, but I'm just trying to help my ballclub," Melecio said later. "I'm not going out there thinking I need another home run." Melecio, who is tied for 7th in the BC in bases on balls with 40, was 3-for-5 on the day with 6 RBI. Alex Melecio hit a three-run home run off Dave Mills in the 1st, struck out in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Travis Darling in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Henry Costello in the 8th and struck out in the 9th. So far this season, Melecio is batting .198 with 14 home runs. |
