Gonzáles Connects for 3 Homers for Lakers
Sunday, May 16th , 2060
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 Orlando Gonzáles did at LA Forum, going deep three times and carrying his team to victory, 7-2.
"It all came together. I was seeing the ball well and I got some good pitches to hit," Gonzáles said. "Good things happen, when that happens."
The Echo Park Lakers third baseman blistered the Memphis Mockingbirds for 3 hits, batted in 6 runs and scored 3 times.
"It ain't like we weren't trying," Memphis manager Beau Carsten said. "He was hot and really torched my boys today."
Orlando Gonzáles hit a two-run home run off Aaron Gary in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Aaron Gary in the 4th, hit a three-run home run off Aaron Gary in the 5th and walked in the 7th.
This season, Gonzáles is hitting .293 with 12 hits, 2 home runs, 4 RBIs, scored 7 runs and played in 11 games.
