Márquez Belts 3 HRs Sunday, September 27th, 2026 Santiago Márquez of the Calrissian won the battle against Nassau pitching, but lost the war. He hit three out of the park at Nassau Grounds, got his name in the league record book, but Orlando came up short in the win column, losing to the Rockets 10-7. The Orlando first baseman was red-hot, the ball just exploded off his bat all day long. "I don't try to hit homers," he said. "I try to go out there and have good at-bats. If I put a good swing on the ball, then it is going to go out of the park. I didn't try to hit the first one or the second one or the third one. I just try to have good at-bats." For the game he went 4 for 4 with 5 RBIs and 3 runs scored. Where does he rank this day in his career? "It's up there," Márquez said. "I'll put it up there in the upper echelon, despite the loss." Santiago Márquez hit a solo-shot off Jason Drake in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Jason Drake in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 5th, walked in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off Juan Franco in the 9th. This year Márquez has 35 home runs and a .308 batting average. |
