Cervantes Pounds 3 HR Wednesday, September 3rd , 2042 Fans seated in the bleacher section at Doyle Buhl Stadium were taking cover all day long as Javier Cervantes zeroed in on them, rattling three long blasts off the seats in a display of Herculean power. The big game from the Palm Springs third baseman helped the Codgers take the victory, 13-3, over the Duluth Warriors. "I told myself not to press on the last one," he told reporters in the postgame press conference. "I knew I couldn't force it -- it has to be a nice easy swing." For the game, he collected 3 hits in 5 at-bats, drove in 3 and scored 3 runs. Javier Cervantes struck out in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Yasuoka Seki in the 3rd, grounded out in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Guo-fang Hsi in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Randall Green in the 8th. On the year, Cervantes has hit .234 with 11 home runs, 32 RBIs and scored 49 runs. |
