Núñez Crushes 3 Homers Against Wal-Mart Wednesday, February 1st , 2062 Roberto Núñez of the Tuna won the battle against Wal-Mart pitching, but lost the war. He hit three out of the park at Ballpark of Salt Lake City HS, got his name in the league record book, but Bumblebee came up short in the win column, losing to the Stars, 13-7. The Bumblebee third baseman was red-hot, the ball just exploded off his bat all day long. "I don't try to hit homers," he said. "I try to go out there and have good at-bats. If I put a good swing on the ball, then it is going to go out of the park. I didn't try to hit the first one or the second one or the third one. I just try to have good at-bats." For the game, the 14-year old third baseman Núñez went 3 for 5 with 4 RBIs and 3 runs scored. Where does he rank this day in his career? "It's up there," Núñez said. "I'll put it up there in the upper echelon, despite the loss." Roberto Núñez hit a two-run home run off Kieran Newton in the 1st, walked in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Cisco López in the 5th, grounded out in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off Frank Fletcher in the 8th and grounded out in the 9th. So far this season, Núñez is batting .325 with 6 home runs, 34 RBIs and 31 runs scored. He has 39 hits in 120 at-bats, 27 walks and a .456 OBP. Núñez has played in 28 games. |
