Chavez Bombs 3 HR Against San Francisco Wednesday, June 19th , 2052 Mexico City Marauders first baseman Francisco Chavez sensed he was going to have a good day at the plate, but he still might have underestimated it a little. Prior to the start of today's contest with the San Francisco Pioneers, Chavez told teammates he was sure he would hit a home run. He did -- three times. "During batting practice I really had my swing down pat," he recalled. "I felt some thunder in the lumber." The big day from Chavez pushed the Marauders past the Pioneers, 9-6. To go along with the homers, he collected 5 RBIs and scored 4 runs. "I was seeing good, feeling good and swinging good," Chavez told reporters after the game. Francisco Chavez struck out in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Ramiro Torres in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Ramiro Torres in the 5th, walked in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Danny Ramirez in the 9th. This season, Chavez is batting .280 with 14 home runs. He has scored 37 runs and driven in 43. |
