Ortega Launches 3 HR for Flamingos Sunday, June 26th , 2061 Fort Myers second baseman Vito Ortega blasted three homers at Pirate City Complex in the 11-9 Flamingos victory over the Clearwater Threshers. For the game, Vito Ortega scored 4 times and knocked in 5 runs. When he hit his last home run, his teammates, hearing the crack of the bat, leaped off the bench and rushed on the field to greet the jubilant Ortega when he reached home plate. "It was just one game, but it sure was a lot of fun -- 5-for-6, three roundtrippers and a win," a gleeful Ortega told BNN reporters in a postgame interview. "What a day." Vito Ortega hit a solo-shot off Everett Lewis in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Everett Lewis in the 2nd, hit a three-run home run off D.J. Jones in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and grounded out in the 9th. In 7 games Ortega is hitting .310 this season with 9 hits, 3 home runs, 5 RBIs, 2 walks, .355 OBP and has scored 4 runs. |
