Trujillo Pounds 3 HR Sunday, July 17th , 2044 Mario Trujillo of the Cyclones won the battle against Batavia pitching, but lost the war. He hit three out of the park at Dwyer Stadium, got his name in the league record book, but Brooklyn came up short in the win column, losing to the Muckdogs 11-10. The Brooklyn center fielder was red-hot, the ball just exploded off his bat all day long. "I don't try to hit homers," he said. "I try to go out there and have good at-bats. If I put a good swing on the ball, then 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. I just try to have good at-bats." For the game he went 4 for 5 with 5 RBIs and 3 runs scored. Where does he rank this day in his career? "It's up there," Trujillo said. "I'll put it up there in the upper echelon, despite the loss." Mario Trujillo struck out in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Scott Feltham in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Alex Garza in the 5th, singled in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off Jayson Johnson in the 9th. To date this year Trujillo is batting .268 with 4 home runs. |
