Spinnato Parks 3 HR in the Seats
Thursday, July 24th , 2070
Ben Spinnato went yard three times in a Fresno Grizzlies victory over the Toronto Blue Jays at Grizzles Park.
"I was in a groove," he said. "Every pitch they tossed up there looked like a grapefruit."
For the day, the Fresno catcher went 4-for-5 against Toronto with 8 RBIs and 3 runs scored in a brilliant display of power hitting that led the Grizzlies to the 21-4 win.
"I tell you what. I'm shocked because I didn't think that last ball had enough to get out," he told BNN reporters in the clubhouse following the game. "I thought it was just going to be a long out."
Ben Spinnato hit a two-run home run off B.J. Garces in the 1st, hit a three-run home run off B.J. Garces in the 3rd, walked in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Jim Unknown in the 6th, hit a two-run double in the 6th and grounded out in the 8th.
So far this season, Spinnato is hitting .303 with 14 home runs, 43 RBIs and 37 runs scored. He has 53 hits in 175 at-bats and a .405 OBP.
