Novelo Swats 3 HR Against San Francisco Saturday, May 6th , 2045 Manny Novelo brutalized the San Francisco Giants pitching staff, launching three home runs in the 11-1 Charlotte victory at The Big House that Riggle Built. The Charlotte Flight right fielder 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-5 with 8 RBIs and 3 runs scored. "Too much Manny Novelo today," Giants manager Branden M said. "That's my assessment of the game. That's what our problems boiled down to." Manny Novelo hit a solo-shot off Raul Caudillo in the 2nd, flied out in the 4th, flied out in the 6th, hit a three-run home run off Angel Laguna in the 7th and hit a GRAND SLAM off Mike Graham in the 8th. This season, Novelo is batting .311 with 33 hits, 11 home runs, 27 RBIs, .368 OBP and has scored 19 runs. |
