Rivas Pounds 3 HR Against Redwoods Monday, July 15th, 2030 At Redwood Park today, José Rivas hit homer after homer after homer. But they didn't add up to enough to beat the Redwood City Redwoods as the Spokane Trappers went down to defeat, 12-11. "It was a good game for me, not so good for our team," the Spokane right fielder said. "I got lucky. I made some good swings on some pitches. We just didn't put up one in the win column." On his monumental day, he had 3 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 5 runs, and scored 3 times. "The third one was totally unexpected," Rivas told reporters after his extraordinary game. "I just wanted to make good contact, never thinking I would get another home run and bang, I got number three." José Rivas hit a solo-shot off Keith Burns in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Keith Burns in the 4th, hit a three-run home run off Gil Paling in the 5th, walked in the 7th, grounded out in the 9th and walked in the 11th. So far this year Rivas is hitting .338 with 21 home runs. |
