de Braber Swats 3 Homers Wednesday, September 29th , 2055 Maikel de Braber of the Elite won the battle against Long Island pitching, but lost the war. He hit three out of the park at The Lighthouse, got his name in the league record book, but Detroit came up short in the win column, losing to the Lighthouse 7-5. The Detroit 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 3 for 4 with 3 RBIs and 3 runs scored. Where does he rank this day in his career? "It's up there," de Braber said. "I'll put it up there in the upper echelon, despite the loss." Maikel de Braber hit a solo-shot off Aaron Daniels in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Aaron Daniels in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Aaron Daniels in the 7th and grounded out in the 8th. In the current season, de Braber has put up a .267 batting average with 113 hits, 23 home runs, 55 RBI and scored 50 runs. |
