| Monster 3-HR Day for Caligas Thursday, July 6th , 2045 It was a good day for the Indian Point Atoms and an exceptional one for Juan Caligas. The 23-year-old first baseman sent three bombs out of the park to help the Atoms beat the Newtown, El Dorado County Hawks, 16-4, at Hawks Park.
"When you're in the zone, the game really slows down," Caligas said when asked about his performance later. "I couldn't even tell you what pitches were thrown. Today feels great, but it is a long season and tomorrow is another day."
For the day, he scored 3 times, drove in 7 runs and smacked 3 hits in 6 at-bats.
Juan Caligas flied out in the 1st, struck out in the 2nd, hit a three-run home run off Ricardo Montes in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Philippe Lacoste in the 6th, hit a two-run home run off Philippe Lacoste in the 7th and flied out in the 9th.
Caligas currently has a .286 batting average with 30 hits, 4 homers, 18 RBIs, 20 runs scored and a .409 OBP. | | |
