Swing! Swang! Swung! Chavez Smashes 3 HR Sunday, July 15th , 2035 Hitting three home runs in a game is usually something to celebrate, but there was no celebration to be found at Joe O'Brien Field after the hitting barrage from Carlos Chavez. The Fayetteville Frogs dropped the contest 7-5 to the Elizabethton Twins, leaving Chavez with only a historical footnote as consolation. Carlos is blessed with a natural home run swing so he gets the ball up in the air real quickly," Fayetteville manager Juan Burgos said after the loss. "It's just a shame we couldn't win the game, too. I'm sure it spoils the day a little for him." Along with putting three in the stands, Chavez went 3-for-4 with 5 RBIs and 3 runs scored. "It's rare that you actually try to hit a home run," he told reporters after the game. "Mostly you'll fail if you really try to hit one, but today I tried on the last one." Carlos Chavez hit a solo-shot off Joshua Campbell in the 1st, struck out in the 3rd, hit a three-run home run off Joshua Campbell in the 5th and hit a solo-shot off Juan Esparza in the 8th. To date this season Chavez is hitting .134 with 5 home runs. |
