Swing! Swang! Swung! Ulloa Smashes 3 HR
Sunday, September 8th , 2041
Chris Ulloa went on an explosive hitting spree against the Melbourne Aces at Drew Grounds today, launching a trio of blasts to lead the Augusta Linksmen to the 8-1 win.
The right fielder finished 3-for-3 with 3 runs scored and 3 runs batted in.
"It was just one of those days," Ulloa said in a postgame interview. "I don't know how to explain it. I'm just putting a good swing on the ball."
Melbourne skipper Matt Boulanger said Ulloa was "locked-in."
"We made some pretty good pitches," he said. "Those first two homers were exactly where the pitcher wanted to put them. He's just hot right now -- you've just got to tip your hat to him."
Chris Ulloa hit a solo-shot off Steve Lawton in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Steve Lawton in the 3rd, walked in the 5th and hit a solo-shot off MÃ ximo Bocage in the 6th.
Ulloa is batting at a .283 pace this season, picking up 114 hits in 403 at-bats with 26 home runs, 59 RBIs and 69 runs scored.
