 | Mike Bodamer Rockets 3 Home Runs Monday, July 29th , 2041 Today was a special one for Mike Bodamer of the Edmonton Riverhawks as he slammed three home runs in the 8-7 Riverhawks win over the Pachuca Pirates. "Lately, I've been uppercutting the ball too much," he said to sportswriters after the game. "I would hit it hard, but they just went sky high and stayed in the ballpark. No big long outs for me in this game. I leveled out my swing and connected on the sweet spot. I knew they were gone the minute I hit 'em." The Edmonton second baseman collected 3 hits in 6 at-bats, drove in 5, and scored 3 runs in the contest at Honu Park. Mike Bodamer hit a three-run home run off Miguel de la Vega in the 1st, grounded out in the 2nd, grounded out in the 5th, flied out in the 7th, hit a solo-shot off Rogelio Casillas in the 8th and hit a solo-shot off Chad Varner in the 10th. Bodamer is batting at a .391 pace this season, picking up 18 hits in 46 at-bats with 10 home runs, 14 RBIs and 12 runs scored. |   |
