Arzate Pounds 3 HR Against Naturals
Tuesday, July 31st , 2035
It was a day for the record books for San Antonio Missions catcher Frank Arzate, who walloped three out of Nelson W. Wolff Municipal Stadium against the Naturals. However, not even a three-homer game could prevent the Naturals from getting the 8-5 victory.
"We threw some good pitches and they hit 'em, and we made some bad pitches and they hit 'em. That's a good strategy for losing ballgames," San Antonio skipper Alex Garabedian joked after the loss.
Arzate still had a few opportunities to celebrate along the way. He was 3-for-4 for the day, batting in 4 runs and scoring 3 times.
"I never, ever thought I would hit three home runs," Arzate said. "I hit three home runs once when I was 12 in Little League and I thought that was going to be the last time."
Frank Arzate hit a solo-shot off David Guerrero in the 2nd, hit a two-run home run off David Guerrero in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off David Guerrero in the 6th and flied out in the 7th.
Arzate is hitting .236 this season with 11 home runs, 28 RBIs and 31 runs scored. He has 62 hits in 263 at-bats.
