Satake Blasts 3 into Bleachers Sunday, August 9th , 2043 El Paso Chihuahuas shortstop Chris Satake sensed he was going to have a good day at the plate, but he still might have underestimated it a little. Prior to the start of today's contest with the Las Vegas Aviators, Satake told teammates he was sure he would hit a home run. He did -- three times. "During batting practice I really had my swing down pat," he recalled. "I felt some thunder in the lumber." The big day from Satake pushed the Chihuahuas past the Aviators, 13-1. To go along with the homers, he collected 3 RBIs and scored 3 runs. "I was seeing good, feeling good and swinging good," Satake told reporters after the game. Chris Satake singled in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Jim Jordan in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Jim Jordan in the 5th, struck out in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off Jason Moore in the 8th and singled in the 9th. This season, Satake is batting .417 with 5 home runs. |
