Thrice Is Nice: Flores Unloads 3 Homers Thursday, August 1st , 2080 Players don't hit three home runs in a game very often and when they do, it is something to celebrate. After today, Willie Flores can celebrate. The Oceanside Barnstormers left fielder powered three into the stands at Schooner Field against the Binghamton Blues. "It's rare that you actually try to hit a home run," Flores 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 4-for-4 as the Barnstormers toppled Binghamton by a score of 3-1, knocking in 3 runs and scoring 3 times. "He is blessed with a natural home run swing," Oceanside manager said. "He gets the ball up in the air." Willie Flores hit a solo-shot off Jay Barrientos in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Jay Barrientos in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Jay Barrientos in the 5th and singled in the 8th. During the current season Flores is batting at a .223 clip with 25 home runs and 60 RBIs. He has played in 102 games and scored 48 times. |
