Sultan of Swing: Ortega Goes Deep 3 Times Saturday, August 25th , 2063 Natalio Ortega went yard three times in a New Orleans Baby Cakes victory over the Tacoma Rainiers at Zephyr Field. "I was in a groove," he said. "Every pitch they tossed up there looked like a grapefruit." For the day, the New Orleans second baseman went 3-for-4 against Tacoma with 6 RBIs and 3 runs scored in a brilliant display of power hitting that led the Baby Cakes to the 7-0 win. "I tell you what. I'm shocked because I didn't think that last ball had enough to get out," he told BNN reporters in the clubhouse following the game. "I thought it was just going to be a long out." Natalio Ortega hit a solo-shot off Eustacio Almanza in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Eustacio Almanza in the 3rd, hit a GRAND SLAM off Eustacio Almanza in the 4th and struck out in the 6th. This season, Ortega has hit at a .278 clip with 21 RBIs, 8 home runs and 12 runs scored. |
