Villanueva Catches up on Yard Work -- Slams 4 Homers Saturday, October 15th , 2044 Hitting a single home run is a tough task. Hitting two in a game is impressive. Hitting three is remarkable. Anything beyond that is borderline unbelievable -- yet that's what Juan Villanueva did today in the 22-0 Helena Brewers victory over the San Francisco (APP) Giants. Villanueva went 5-for-5 with 4 home runs and drove in 6 runs in a once-in-a-lifetime feat that the opposing manager later labeled "impossible." "I don't believe it really happened," Giants manager Leury Bonilla joked to BNN reporters afterward. "I don't ever enjoy losing a game, but this kid was special today. I have never seen a guy hit 4 in a game before. I didn't enjoy it, but it was special." Juan Villanueva walked in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Francisco Gonzalez in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Filip Nebylitsin in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off John Delaney in the 8th, hit a two-run home run off Jack Klein in the 9th and walked in the 9th. Looking at his stats this year, Villanueva has compiled a .310 batting average, while hitting 12 home runs and driving in 49 runs. He has played in 68 games and scored 54 runs. |
