 | Palacios Cracks 3 HRs for Matamoros HS Friday, March 14th , 2042 Hitting three home runs in a game is usually something to celebrate, but there was no celebration to be found at Foresters Stadium after the hitting barrage from Marcos Palacios. The Matamoros HS Foresters dropped the contest, 12-9, to the Indianapolis HS Shamrocks, leaving Palacios with only a historical footnote as consolation. Marcos is blessed with a natural home run swing so he gets the ball up in the air real quickly," Matamoros HS manager said after the loss. "It's just a shame we couldn't win the game, too. I'm sure it spoils the day a little for him." Along with putting three in the stands, Palacios went 3-for-5 with 6 RBIs and 3 runs scored. "It's rare that you actually try to hit a home run," he told reporters after the game. "Mostly you'll fail if you really try to hit one, but today I tried on the last one." Marcos Palacios flied out in the 1st, struck out in the 3rd, hit a three-run home run off Jules Gray in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off Josh Lynch in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Josh Turner in the 8th. On the year, Palacios is hitting .241 with 14 hits, 4 home runs, 9 RBIs, .312 OBP and has scored 11 runs. |   |
