 | Renta Jacks 3 into the Stands Monday, April 7th , 2042 Mario Renta was in a home run mode at Mérida HS Fields. The Mérida HS first baseman massacred Atlantics pitching, cracking out three home runs and going 3-for-4 with 4 RBIs and scoring 4 runs. But this sensational performance didn't really matter. Santa Ana HS won the ballgame, 12-6, despite the three homers. "I wish a big 'W' had come with this," he said. "It's great to hit three homers, but the bottom line is whether you win or lose." Nonetheless, Renta will now have a place in the league record book. "I guess when you're hot, you're hot," he said. "I'm not going up there trying to hit home runs. I put the good part of the bat on it and luckily three of them went out today." Mario Renta flied out in the 1st, walked in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Tony Villegas in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off Jamie Toombs in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Jason Coleman in the 9th. To date this year, Renta is batting .279 with 11 home runs. |   |
