Roth Socks It to Columbus 3 Times Monday, October 10th , 2050 Ben Roth added his name in the record books after an explosive home run spree against the Columbus Reds. But despite joining the select list of sluggers to hit three home runs in a game, it didn't guarantee a victory. The Winnipeg Goldeyes fell to the Reds, 13-12. In his big day at Columbus Baseball Complex, the Winnipeg left fielder went 3-for-5 with 3 RBIs and scored 3 times. "It was just one of those days," he told BNN sportswriters in the postgame interview. "I don't know how to explain it. I'm just putting a good swing on the ball. "You would think three homers would win most games. It was good to hit 'em, but a win would have really made my day." Ben Roth hit a solo-shot off Quentin Archdeacon in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Jose Crisanto in the 5th, flied out in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Jorge Garza in the 9th. This season Roth is hitting at a .378 pace with 67 home runs, 123 RBIs and has scored 118 times. |
