Manny Ríos Drills 3 HR in One Game Monday, July 24th , 2073 Saskatoon Legends catcher Manny Ríos had a magnificent game against the East St. Louis Eagles, rocketing three balls out of Naturals Ballpark to help the Legends win, 9-5. "I got some good pitches to hit and I creamed them," he said after the game. "The first was a big, fat fastball and the last two were hanging curves. All three were mistakes." For the game, Ríos went 3-for-4 with 5 RBIs and 3 runs scored. "There's a fine line between hitting home runs and line drives," Saskatoon manager said later. "Seems like Manny found his home run stroke today." Manny Ríos hit a solo-shot off Miguel Cavazos in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Miguel Cavazos in the 4th, grounded out in the 6th and hit a two-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 7th.
