Martinez Goes Yard 3 Times Sunday, May 9th , 2055 It was a terrific day for Alex Martinez, who ripped three home runs at Keyesport Landing Grounds, and a disappointing one for the New Haven Patriots who, nevertheless, dropped the game, 16-8, to the La Romana Limones. "He was instant offense," New Haven skipper said. "Alex really put on a show. He more than did his part. We just didn't come through with hits at the right time to win the game." For the day, Martinez collected 4 hits in 5 at-bats, scored 4 runs and had 6 RBIs. In the postgame press conference he told the reporters he has always liked to hit at Keyesport Landing Grounds. "I got some good pitches to hit and turned on them real good," he said. Alex Martinez hit a solo-shot off Juan Cuellar in the 1st, flied out in the 2nd, hit a two-run home run off Juan Cuellar in the 5th, hit a three-run home run off Jesus Morales in the 6th and singled in the 8th.
