GONE! GONE! GONE! 3 HRs for Arteaga
Saturday, July 6th , 2058
Anyone wearing a glove and sitting in the bleachers for today's Bullets-84s game had a good chance at snagging a home run ball.
MSL Baltimore third baseman Mario Arteaga thrice sent eager fans scurrying to catch a souvenir, helping lead the MSL Baltimore to a win, 12-5, over MSL Greenville.
"Hey, the three homers were great, but I'm just trying to help my ballclub," Arteaga said later. "I'm not going out there thinking I need another home run."
Arteaga, who is tied for 5th in the SMSL with a .682 slugging percentage, was 3-for-4 on the day with 7 runs batted in.
Mario Arteaga hit a GRAND SLAM off Lapaele Bardo in the 1st, flied out in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Dereje Bagatui in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Dereje Bagatui in the 8th.
This year, Arteaga is batting .346 with 9 home runs and 27 RBIs. In 27 games he has scored 25 times.
