Four-bagger Feast: Cartaya Slugs 3 for Las Vegas Friday, July 28th , 2023 The "hardest feat in sports" debate is a never-ending one with no correct answer, but hitting three home runs is certainly in the conversation. That's exactly what Diego Cartaya did today at Cashman Field, going deep three times and carrying his team to victory, 9-8. "It all came together. I was seeing the ball well and I got some good pitches to hit," Cartaya said. "Good things happen, when that happens." The Las Vegas Aviators catcher blistered the Omaha Storm Chasers for 4 hits, batted in 5 runs and scored 3 times. "It ain't like we weren't trying," Omaha manager Bo Porter said. "He was hot and really torched my boys today." Diego Cartaya hit a solo-shot off Ethan Hankins in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Ethan Hankins in the 3rd, struck out in the 5th, doubled in the 7th, struck out in the 9th, hit a three-run home run off Garret Price in the 11th and grounded out in the 13th. This season Cartaya has hit at a .280 clip with 18 RBIs, 8 home runs and 18 runs scored. He has played in 23 games. |
