Going Once! Twice! Gone Again! 3 HR for Vega Sunday, September 10th, 2028 Players don't hit three home runs in a game very often and when they do, it is something to celebrate. After today, António Vega can celebrate. The Crystal Lake Sandgnats first baseman powered three into the stands at Elderberry Field today against the Palm Springs Codgers. "It's rare that you actually try to hit a home run," Vega told reporters after the game. "Most of the time you fail, if you really try to hit one. But today, I was really trying on that last one." In all, he was 3-for-4 as the Sandgnats toppled Palm Springs by a score of 10-3, knocking in 4 runs and scoring 3 times. "He is blessed with a natural home run swing," Crystal Lake manager Joe Matterson said. "He gets the ball up in the air." António Vega walked in the 1st, flied out in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Akihito Matsuo in the 6th, hit a two-run home run off Wil Garza in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Wil Garza in the 9th. In his season totals Vega has 35 home runs and a .254 batting average. |
