Contreras Parks 3 HR in the Seats Wednesday, August 24th , 2039 Fans seated in the bleacher section at Ballpark of Deleware were taking cover all day long as José Contreras zeroed in on them, rattling three long blasts off the seats in a display of Herculean power. The big game from the Delaware third baseman helped the Diamonds take the victory, 7-6, over the Port-au-Prince Bokors. "I told myself not to press on the last one," he told reporters in the postgame press conference. "I knew I couldn't force it -- it has to be a nice easy swing." For the game, he collected 4 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 5 and scored 4 runs. José Contreras hit a two-run home run off Man-chae Yi in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Man-chae Yi in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off Jesús Reyes in the 8th and walked in the 9th. This season in 63 games Contreras is batting .233 with 8 home runs, 27 RBIs and has scored 27 times. |
