Thrice Is Nice: Acosta Unloads 3 Homers Friday, September 13th , 2041 The Binghamton Rumble Ponies won't soon forget the display of raw power put on today by António Acosta of the Mahoning Valley Scrappers. He victimized the Rumble Ponies by pounding three pitches out of NYSEG Stadium to spark his club to the 11-2 win. "I got three pitches down the pipe and popped them," Acosta told reporters. "Today I was in a groove. Tomorrow, I could just pop up the same pitches and go 0-for-3." In addition to the homers, he collected 6 RBIs and scored 4 runs. António Acosta hit a two-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 1st, flied out in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Jim Unknown in the 5th, hit a three-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 6th, walked in the 8th and struck out in the 9th. Thus far this year Acosta has hit .247 with 48 home runs and 126 RBIs. |
