Blast Off! 3 HR for Mendoza Monday, June 24th , 2024 Sonoma Scorpions bombardier Nelson Mendoza set his sights on the stands and blasted three balls over the fence as his club beat the St. Louis Cavalry, 8-5. "I guess you could say I was a good guesser today, especially on the last one," Mendoza told writers in the postgame press room. "I was ahead in the count, so I gambled that I'd get a certain pitch, and got all of it." For the game, the Sonoma right fielder had 3 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 6, and scored 3 runs. Nelson Mendoza hit a two-run home run off Vic Vance in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, hit a three-run home run off Vic Vance in the 5th and hit a solo-shot off Tony Hernandez in the 7th. This season, Mendoza is swinging the bat at a .281 rate with 62 hits in 221 at-bats. To date he has hit 14 home runs, scored 36 runs and driven in 35. |
