Umaba Packs a Wallop -- Hits 3 HR Against Pacos Saturday, September 17th , 2039 Anyone wearing a glove and sitting in the bleachers for today's Wahoos-Pacos game had a good chance at snagging a home run ball. Aruba left fielder Tameyoshi Umaba thrice sent eager fans scurrying to catch a souvenir, helping lead the Aruba to a 11-1 win over Puerto Plata. "Hey, the three homers were great, but I'm just trying to help my ballclub," Umaba said later. "I'm not going out there thinking I need another home run." Umaba was 3-for-4 on the day with 4 RBI. Tameyoshi Umaba walked in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Pat Barr in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Arend van Hulst in the 4th, grounded out in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Christian Matthews in the 9th.
