Martin Rips 3 Homers Against Wheelers
Wednesday, June 8th , 2078
It was a terrific day for Ben Martin, who ripped three home runs at The Burrow Presented By Frankie's Fun Bites, and a disappointing one for the Amarillo Armadillos who, nevertheless, dropped the game, 7-6, to the Anchorage Wheelers.
"He was instant offense," Amarillo skipper said. "Ben really put on a show. He more than did his part. We just didn't come through with hits at the right time to win the game."
For the day, Martin collected 3 hits in 5 at-bats, scored 3 runs and had 5 RBIs.
In the postgame press conference he told the reporters he has always liked to hit at The Burrow Presented By Frankie's Fun Bites.
"I got some good pitches to hit and turned on them real good," he said.
Ben Martin hit a two-run home run off Elijah Rosado in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Elijah Rosado in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Elijah Rosado in the 5th, grounded out in the 7th and grounded out in the 9th.
So far this year, Martin is hitting .346 with 8 home runs.
