Going Once! Twice! Gone Again! 3 HR for Toth
Friday, September 2nd , 2044
Justin Toth went on an explosive hitting spree against the Cedar Rapids Kernels at Veterans Memorial Stadium today, launching a trio of blasts to lead the Delmarva Shorebirds to the 9-0 win.
The right fielder finished 3-for-5 with 3 runs scored and 5 RBI.
"It was just one of those days," Toth said in a postgame interview. "I don't know how to explain it. I'm just putting a good swing on the ball."
Cedar Rapids skipper Tom Bartlett said Toth was "locked-in."
"We made some pretty good pitches," he said. "Those first two homers were exactly where the pitcher wanted to put them. He's just hot right now -- you've just got to tip your hat to him."
Justin Toth grounded out in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Matthew Lange in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Matthew Lange in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Toshiyuki Kawashima in the 6th and grounded out in the 7th.
So far this season Toth is hitting .292 with 16 home runs, 51 RBIs and 32 runs scored. He has 49 hits in 168 at-bats and a .409 OBP.
