Velasco Goes Deep 3 Times Sunday, August 22nd , 2049 Anyone wearing a glove and sitting in the bleachers for today's Grasshoppers-Cubs game had a good chance at snagging a home run ball. Greensboro first baseman Miguel Velasco thrice sent eager fans scurrying to catch a souvenir, helping lead the Greensboro to a 22-2 win over South Bend. "Hey, the three homers were great, but I'm just trying to help my ballclub," Velasco said later. "I'm not going out there thinking I need another home run." Velasco was 3-for-5 on the day with 7 RBI. Miguel Velasco hit a three-run home run off Scott Hanson in the 1st, flied out in the 2nd, hit a two-run home run off Melvin Orengo in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Steve Vint in the 6th, walked in a run in the 7th and flied out in the 8th. Velasco is presently hitting at a .296 pace with 23 home runs, 79 RBIs and has scored 62 times. |
