Saturday, May 15th , 2055
An amazing display of power vaulted Danny Torres and the Atlanta Peaches to victory and into the record books, as the left fielder hit 4 home runs against the Houston Rangers.
Torres was an unstoppable force for the Peaches in the 10-3 triumph at Globe Life Field. In the postgame interview, Torres said he started to feel the pressure before his last home run.
"I could feel the anticipation from the crowd, the look in my teammates' eyes," he said. "I was already thrilled, but as I stepped in the box I said, please God, let me hit one more."
His totals on his history-making day were 4 hits in 5 at-bats with 5 RBIs and 4 runs scored.
Danny Torres hit a solo-shot off Gabe Ortiz in the 1st, walked in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Gabe Ortiz in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Tony Gonzalez in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off Lorenzo Mendez in the 8th and grounded out in the 9th.
To date this season, Torres is hitting .308 with 20 home runs.
