Batoni Goes Downtown 3 Times Against Lions Saturday, April 28th, 2040 Players don't hit three home runs in a game very often and when they do, it is something to celebrate. After today, Benedetto Batoni can celebrate. The Malmö Crowns left fielder powered three into the stands at Swedbank Stadium today against the Hamburg Lions. "It's rare that you actually try to hit a home run," Batoni told reporters after the game. "Most of the time you fail, if you really try to hit one. But today, I was really trying on that last one." In all, he was 3-for-4 as the Crowns toppled Hamburg by a score of 5-3, knocking in 3 runs and scoring 3 times. "He is blessed with a natural home run swing," Malmö manager said. "He gets the ball up in the air." Benedetto Batoni hit a solo-shot off Jim Unknown in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Jim Unknown in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Jim Unknown in the 6th and struck out in the 8th. This year Batoni has collected a .386 batting average to date with 17 hits in 44 at-bats, 10 RBIs, 5 home runs and scored 12 times. He has played in 13 games. |
