Thrice Is Nice: Pérez Unloads 3 Homers Saturday, July 10th , 2077 It was a special day for Ramón Pérez, but less so for the Greensboro Gappers. Pérez slammed three home runs against the Hong Kong Phooey, but the Phooey outhit him and got the win by a score of 12-9. "Lately, I been uppercutting the ball too much. I would hit it hard, but they just went sky high and stayed in the ballpark," he said to sportswriters after the game. "No big long outs for me in this game -- I leveled out my swing and connected on the sweet spot three times. I knew they were gone the minute I hit 'em." The Greensboro third baseman finished the day at Chesapeake Grounds with 3 hits in 5 at-bats, 5 runs batted in and 3 runs scored. Ramón Pérez hit a two-run home run off Albert Romero in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Albert Romero in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Alfredo García in the 5th, struck out in the 6th and struck out in the 8th.
