Olvera Goes Yard 3 Times Wednesday, October 17th , 2046 Fans seated in the bleacher section at Pioneer Park were taking cover all day long as Hector Olvera zeroed in on them, rattling three long blasts off the seats in a display of Herculean power. The big game from the Elizabethton right fielder helped the Twins take the victory, 17-4, over the Greeneville Astros. "I told myself not to press on the last one," he told reporters in the postgame press conference. "I knew I couldn't force it -- it has to be a nice easy swing." For the game, he collected 5 hits in 6 at-bats, drove in 8 and scored 4 runs. Hector Olvera struck out in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Kuaika Anakala in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off Jon Davis in the 6th, doubled in the 8th and hit a GRAND SLAM off Mike Wirick in the 9th. Thus far this season in 120 games Olvera is batting .337 with 31 home runs, 126 RBIs and 107 runs scored. He has 134 hits in 398 at-bats. |
