Silva Slams 3 Homers for Screaming Eagles Sunday, July 27th , 2053 Mercer Island Screaming Eagles right fielder Gilberto Silva had a magnificent game against the Squirrel Hill Pierogis today, rocketing three balls out of Mercer Island Grounds to help the Screaming Eagles take the 14-0 victory. "I got some good pitches to hit and I creamed them," he said after the game. "The first was a big, fat fastball and the last two were hanging curves. All three were mistakes." For the game, Silva went 5-for-5 with 6 RBIs and 4 runs scored. "There's a fine line between hitting home runs and line drives," Mercer Island manager Ricardo Vargas said later. "Seems like Gilberto found his home run stroke today." Gilberto Silva singled in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Balltesar Marmeleira in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Ramón Espinoza in the 6th and hit a two-run home run off Ramón Espinoza in the 8th.
