Herrera is a Smash Hit: 4 HR Friday, June 18th , 2060 Hitting a single home run is a tough task. Hitting two in a game is impressive. Hitting three is remarkable. Anything beyond that is borderline unbelievable -- yet that's what Jaime Herrera did today in the 19-2 MSL Oakland Oaks victory over the MSL St. Louis Coeur. Herrera went 5-for-5 with 4 home runs and drove in 8 runs in a once-in-a-lifetime feat that the opposing manager later labeled "impossible." "I don't believe it really happened," Coeur manager Harunobu Matsushita joked to BNN reporters afterward. "I don't ever enjoy losing a game, but this kid was special today. I have never seen a guy hit 4 in a game before. I didn't enjoy it, but it was special." Jaime Herrera hit a two-run home run off Luis Rea in the 2nd, hit a two-run home run off Luis Rea in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off Arturo Alfonzo in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Juan Sánchez in the 7th. This year, Herrera is batting .321 with 5 home runs and 14 RBIs. In 20 games he has scored 21 times. View Boxscore View Game Log |
