Matsumoto Bashes 3 HR for Norfolk
Monday, September 5th, 2044
Tetsu Matsumoto was in a home run mode today at Norfolk Field. The Norfolk first baseman massacred Redlegs pitching, cracking out three home runs and going 4-for-5 with 4 RBIs and scoring 3 runs. But this sensational performance didn't really matter. Sacramento won the ballgame 9-5 despite the three homers.

"I wish a big 'W' had come with this," he said. "It's great to hit three homers, but the bottom line is whether you win or lose."

Nonetheless, Matsumoto will now have a place in the league record book.

"I guess when you're hot, you're hot," he said. "I'm not going up there trying to hit home runs. I put the good part of the bat on it and luckily three of them went out today."

Tetsu Matsumoto hit a two-run home run off Isacco Taricco in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Isacco Taricco in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Doug Swanson in the 7th and flied out in the 9th.
