Griffin Crushes 4 Home Runs Monday, September 21st , 2048 Fans at Andrew Wray Stadium won't soon forget the raw display of power put on by Madison Brewers third baseman Jelani Griffin today. Griffin smashed 4 home runs in Madison's 29-1 victory over the Kelowna Heat. "To be honest with you, I have never even thought about hitting this many home runs in a game," Griffin said to reporters after the game. "Only legends hit this many home runs in a game and I ain't no legend." In his history-making performance, Griffin victimized Kelowna hurlers for 4 hits in 6 at-bats with 5 runs scored and 5 RBIs. "What he did was unbelievable," said Kelowna manager Hichori Toyama. "My guys gave it their best, but he hit some fine pitches. He was like -- he was in automatic home run mode today. He just had that great swing. It didn't matter what we threw him. It was gone." Jelani Griffin hit a solo-shot off Jerry Schlaak in the 1st, grounded out in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Jerry Schlaak in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Jerry Schlaak in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Jerry Schlaak in the 6th, walked in the 7th and grounded out in the 8th. For the year Griffin has hit at a .339 clip with 73 RBIs, 28 home runs and 54 runs scored. |
