Contreras Jacks 3 into the Stands Friday, May 31st , 2052 Players don't hit three home runs in a game very often and when they do, it is something to celebrate. After today, Daniel Contreras can celebrate. The Arlington Arsenal right fielder powered three into the stands at Ballpark of Arlington against the Montreal Mammoths. "It's rare that you actually try to hit a home run," Contreras told reporters after the game. "Most of the time you fail, if you really try to hit one. But today, I was really trying on that last one." In all, he was 3-for-4 as the Arsenal toppled Montreal by a score of 4-3, knocking in 3 runs and scoring 3 times. "He is blessed with a natural home run swing," Arlington manager David Fields said. "He gets the ball up in the air." Daniel Contreras hit a solo-shot off Kyle Coker in the 1st, grounded out in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Kyle Coker in the 5th and hit a solo-shot off Alex Vega in the 8th. In his season totals Contreras has 7 home runs and a .225 batting average. |
