Alm Blasts 3 into Bleachers Sunday, December 2nd , 2046 His swing was a thing of beauty. Three times Mike Alm swung the bat and three times he delivered a home run. It was an awesome sight to behold at Tempe Diablo Stadium, but to no avail, for as good as he was, the St. Louis (WIN) Cardinals were better. The Los Angeles (WIN) Angels couldn't capitalize on the big game from Alm and dropped the contest 6-4. The mood in the Angels clubhouse afterward was subdued, with several players remarking that they had allowed the Cardinals to spoil the day for Alm. "Some of the boys are beating themselves up about it," Los Angeles (WIN) manager Reggie Wilson 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, Alm collected 4 RBIs and scored 3 runs. "I got three pitches down the pipe and popped them," the Los Angeles (WIN) third baseman told reporters. "Today I was in a groove. Tomorrow I could just pop the same pitches up and go 0-for-3." Mike Alm hit a two-run home run off Casey Cogdill in the 1st, struck out in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Casey Cogdill in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Rafael Montano in the 8th. Thus far in 2046 Alm is hitting .241 with 3 home runs, 5 RBIs, 4 runs scored and has compiled a .312 OBP. |
