Ogres Díaz Raps 3 Homers Wednesday, May 31st , 2051 Joaquín Díaz brutalized the Gwinnett Guinea Pigs pitching staff, launching three home runs in today's 8-2 victory at Experimental Stadium. The Olympia Ogres left fielder was red-hot, the ball just exploding off his bat all day. "I don't try to hit homers," he said later. "I try to go out there and put a good swing on the ball, and sometimes 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." For the game, he went 3-for-4 with 6 RBIs and 3 runs scored. "Too much Joaquín Díaz today," Guinea Pigs manager William Edens said. "That's my assessment of the game. That's what our problems boiled down to." Joaquín Díaz hit a two-run home run off Alan Gilbert in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Alan Gilbert in the 3rd, struck out in the 6th and hit a two-run home run off Caden Hickman in the 8th. Looking at his present stats, Díaz has compiled a .232 batting average in 24 games with a .344 on-base percentage, while hitting 4 home runs and driving in 11 runs. |
