Krott Goes Downtown 3 Times Against Cubs
Thursday, October 20th , 2044
His swing was a thing of beauty. Three times Michael Krott swung the bat and three times he delivered a home run. It was an awesome sight to behold at Baseball City Complex, but to no avail, for as good as he was, the Chicago (APP) Cubs were better.

The Grand Junction Rockies couldn't capitalize on the big game from Krott and dropped the contest 28-21.

The mood in the Rockies clubhouse afterward was subdued, with several players remarking that they had allowed the Cubs to spoil the day for Krott.

"Some of the boys are beating themselves up about it," Grand Junction manager Drew Mendoza said. "They know we win as a team and lose as a team, but it's hard to really put that idea into practice on a day when one of you was playing on such an obviously higher level."

In addition to the homers, Krott collected 8 RBIs and scored 3 runs.

"I got three pitches down the pipe and popped them," the Grand Junction right fielder told reporters. "Today I was in a groove. Tomorrow I could just pop the same pitches up and go 0-for-3."

Michael Krott struck out in the 2nd, flied out in the 4th, hit a GRAND SLAM off Julio Arteaga in the 4th, grounded out in the 6th, hit a two-run home run off Neal Brody in the 8th and hit a two-run home run off Eddie Panagos in the 9th.

Krott is currently hitting at a .412 pace with 18 home runs, 64 RBIs and has scored 56 times.
