Patron Booms 4 HR Against Kelowna Friday, September 18th , 2048 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 Alejandro Patron did today in the 27-0 Calgary Flames victory over the Kelowna Heat. Patron went 4-for-4 with 4 home runs and drove in 7 runs in a once-in-a-lifetime feat that the opposing manager later labeled "impossible." "I don't believe it really happened," Heat manager Hichori Toyama 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." Alejandro Patron hit a three-run home run off Jerry Schlaak in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Jerry Schlaak in the 2nd, walked in the 3rd, walked in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Jerry Schlaak in the 6th and hit a two-run home run off Jerry Schlaak in the 8th. Looking at his stats this year, Patron has compiled a .293 batting average, while hitting 39 home runs and driving in 72 runs. He has played in 94 games and scored 53 runs. |
