Kelekolio Connects for 3 Homers for Diamondbacks Wednesday, January 17th , 2046 Fans seated in the bleacher section at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick were taking cover all day long as Katilimomi Kelekolio zeroed in on them, rattling three long blasts off the seats in a display of Herculean power. The big game from the Arizona (WIN) second baseman helped the Diamondbacks take the victory, 11-5, over the New York (WIN) Yankees. "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 3 hits in 5 at-bats, drove in 6 and scored 3 runs. Katilimomi Kelekolio struck out in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Eric Aguilar in the 3rd, hit a three-run home run off Eric Aguilar in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Ricky Mercer in the 6th and struck out in the 8th. So far this year in 42 games Kelekolio is hitting .308 with 17 home runs, 33 RBIs and 31 runs scored. |
