Smashing Success: Costa Wallops 3 HR Friday, August 25th , 2073 Manuel Costa of the Coyotes won the battle against Ozark pitching, but lost the war. He hit three out of the park at Incest Stadium, got his name in the league record book, but Keg Creek came up short in the win column, losing to the Outlaws, 15-4. The Keg Creek first 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 slugging first baseman Costa went 3 for 4 with 4 RBIs and 3 runs scored. Where does he rank this day in his career? "It's up there," Costa said. "I'll put it up there in the upper echelon, despite the loss." Manuel Costa hit a solo-shot off Juan Luis MartÃnez in the 1st, struck out in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Juan Luis MartÃnez in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Chris Clark in the 8th. Costa is currently hitting at a .248 pace with 18 home runs and 58 RBIs. |
