Rodríguez Laces 3 HR Against Council Bluffs Saturday, August 4th , 2063 Some days you can't have it all, as Aspen Surge third baseman José Rodríguez discovered when he cracked three homers against the Council Bluffs Express, and still lost. "I have mixed emotions about this game," he said. "It's great to hit three homers, but it's hard to be happy when you lose the game." The 21-year-old got his name in the league record books, but the Express walked away with the triumph, 10-9, at Pacific Railroad Park. Rodríguez finished the day with 3 hits in 4 at-bats and 5 RBIs. "I got three balls to hit and nailed all three of them," he said in the postgame interview. José Rodríguez hit a solo-shot off Curt Gilmore in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Curt Gilmore in the 4th, was hit by a pitch in the 6th, hit a three-run home run off Luis Brown in the 7th and grounded out in the 9th. This season in 76 games, Rodríguez is batting .269 with 18 home runs, 49 RBIs and has scored 42 times. |
