Salter Goes Deep 3 Times Monday, May 3rd , 2055 Damien Salter brutalized the Denver Queens pitching staff, launching three home runs in the 11-8 Atlanta victory at Peachers Park. The Atlanta Peaches second baseman was red-hot, the ball just exploding off his bat all day. "I don't try to hit homers," he said later. "I try to go out there and put a good swing on the ball, and sometimes it is going to go out of the park. I didn't try to hit the first one or the second one or the third one." For the game, he went 3-for-5 with 6 RBIs and 3 runs scored. "Too much Damien Salter today," Queens manager David Fields said. "That's my assessment of the game. That's what our problems boiled down to." Damien Salter hit a solo-shot off Kenyon Quarterman in the 1st, struck out in the 3rd, hit a three-run home run off Kenyon Quarterman in the 4th, struck out in the 6th and hit a two-run home run off Ricardo Penafiel in the 8th. So far this season, Salter is hitting .197 with 6 home runs, 13 RBIs and 24 runs scored. He has 24 hits in 122 at-bats and a .279 OBP. |
