Rodríguez Is King of Swing: Goes Deep 3 Times Sunday, May 2nd , 2032 Fans seated in the bleacher section at Louis Guisto Field were taking cover all day long as Carlos Rodríguez zeroed in on them, rattling three long blasts off the seats in a display of Herculean power. The big game from the Saint Mary's third baseman helped the Gaels take the victory, 9-7, over the UNLV Rebels. "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 4 at-bats, drove in 4 and scored 3 runs. Carlos Rodríguez hit a solo-shot off Steven Worley in the 2nd, struck out in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Sun-jae Hong in the 6th and hit a two-run home run off Grant Hubbard in the 8th. This season Rodríguez is batting .273 with 9 hits, 5 home runs, 7 RBIs, .314 OBP and has scored 7 runs. |
