 | Tapia on Fire: Burns Oklahoma City with 3 HR Saturday, April 5th , 2042 Bigger paychecks might be in the offing if Felipe Tapia continues to hit like he did today against the Oklahoma City Twisters. The Mexico City Marauders left fielder crushed three into the stands at Marauders Field in a remarkable performance, propelling the Marauders to a win, 15-0, over the Oklahoma City Twisters. "If you want to get paid in this league, you've gotta earn it," he said later. "I earned my paycheck today." He tagged 4 hits in 5 at-bats, drove in 9 runs and scored 4 times. "We made three mistakes and he made us pay each time," Oklahoma City manager David Fields said later. Felipe Tapia hit a two-run home run off Gabriel Fregoso in the 1st, hit a GRAND SLAM off Gabriel Fregoso in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Dave Woolridge in the 6th and struck out in the 7th.
