Román Smacks 3 Out of the Park Friday, October 1st , 2151 At Monks Stadium, Edgardo Román hit homer after homer after homer. But they didn't add up to enough to beat the Daegu Monks as the Melbourne Meteors went down to defeat, 8-7. "It was a good game for me, not so good for our team," the Melbourne left fielder said. "I got lucky. I made some good swings on some pitches. We just didn't put up one in the win column." On his monumental day, he had 3 hits in 5 at-bats, drove in 6 runs, and scored 3 times. "The third one was totally unexpected," Román told reporters after his extraordinary game. "I just wanted to make good contact, never thinking I would get another home run and bang, I got number three." Edgardo Román hit a three-run home run off Octávio Díaz in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Octávio Díaz in the 3rd, flied out in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off Cornélio Tender in the 8th and flied out in the 10th. This year, Román is hitting .275 with 30 home runs. |
