Historic Day: Grubbs Jolts 4 HR Thursday, September 23rd , 2049 Hitting a single home run is a tough task. Hitting two in a game is impressive. Hitting three is remarkable. Anything beyond that is borderline unbelievable -- yet that's what Billy Grubbs did today in the 21-11 Great Falls Voyagers victory over the Burlington Royals. Grubbs went 4-for-5 with 4 home runs and drove in 9 runs in a once-in-a-lifetime feat that the opposing manager later labeled "impossible." "I don't believe it really happened," Royals manager Cássio Blemarcick joked to BNN reporters afterward. "I don't ever enjoy losing a game, but this kid was special today. I have never seen a guy hit 4 in a game before. I didn't enjoy it, but it was special." Billy Grubbs grounded out in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Ryan Robbins in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Omar Nogueira in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off David Wright in the 6th, walked in the 7th and hit a GRAND SLAM off Javy Rueda in the 8th. Grubbs is hitting .247 so far this season with 145 RBIs and 111 runs scored. He has 112 hits including 52 home runs, 82 walks and .369 OBP. |
