Wright Pops 3 Out of the Park Against Red Sox Saturday, December 17th , 2044 Tristan Wright brutalized the Salem Red Sox pitching staff, launching three home runs in today's 24-1 victory at Stater Bros. Stadium. The High Desert Mavericks first baseman was red-hot, the ball just exploding off his bat all day. "I don't try to hit homers," he said later. "I try to go out there and put a good swing on the ball, and sometimes 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." For the game, he went 5-for-6 with 5 RBIs and 5 runs scored. "Too much Tristan Wright today," Red Sox manager Jorge Ortega said. "That's my assessment of the game. That's what our problems boiled down to." Tristan Wright flied out in the 1st, hit a three-run home run off Danny Marquez in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off Austin O'Connor in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Nick Barnes in the 7th. In 19 games Wright is hitting .367 this season with 29 hits, 10 home runs, 19 RBIs, 4 walks, .405 OBP and has scored 25 runs. |
