Arrindel Rocks Koalas for 3 HRs Thursday, July 19th , 2063 The old superstition that "bad news comes in threes" certainly came true for the Kuala Lumpur Koalas. Agana first baseman José Arrindel tripled up on the home runs to propel the Admirals to a win, 8-1, at Malaysia Park. "We had our chances to win the game, but we just didn't come through," Kuala Lumpur manager Constantino Teixeira said. "Arrindel hit the heck out of the ball." In addition to the homers, Arrindel collected 4 hits in 6 at-bats, 4 RBIs and scored 3 runs. "Easy swings get you home runs," he said after the game. "I kept telling myself not to press. They have to be nice and easy swings." José Arrindel hit a solo-shot off Alberto Hernández in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Zhao-hui Zhou in the 5th, struck out in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Bin Ma in the 8th and grounded out in the 9th. Arrindel is hitting .332 this year with 30 home runs and 70 RBIs. He also has an OBP of .424, 45 walks and scored 62 times. |
