Saenz Tags 3 HR Against RedHawks Friday, June 25th , 2004 Olmedo Saenz brutalized the Oklahoma RedHawks pitching staff, launching three home runs in the 11-2 Sacramento victory at SBC Bricktwown Ballpark. The Sacramento River Cats first baseman was red-hot, the ball just exploding off his bat all day. "I don't try to hit homers," he said later. "I try to go out there and put a good swing on the ball, and sometimes it is going to go out of the park. I didn't try to hit the first one or the second one or the third one." For the game, he went 3-for-6 with 4 RBIs and 3 runs scored. "Too much Olmedo Saenz today," RedHawks manager Sal Lujan said. "That's my assessment of the game. That's what our problems boiled down to." Olmedo Saenz grounded out in the 1st, flied out in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Ryan Bicondoa in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Jovanny Cedeno in the 6th, flied out in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Kurt Ainsworth in the 9th. In 53 games this season, Saenz has batted at a .242 pace with 51 hits and 15 home runs. |
