Figueroa Tags 3 HR Against Cavalry
Saturday, June 11th , 2022
Ben Figueroa brutalized the St. Louis Cavalry pitching staff, launching three home runs in the 14-8 Stockton victory at Cavalry Ballpark. The Stockton Ragin Cajuns left fielder was red-hot, the ball just exploding off his bat all day.
"I don't try to hit homers," he said later. "I try to go out there and put a good swing on the ball, and sometimes it is going to go out of the park. I didn't try to hit the first one or the second one or the third one."
For the game, he went 3-for-5 with 5 RBIs and 3 runs scored.
"Too much Ben Figueroa today," Cavalry manager Leo Medina said. "That's my assessment of the game. That's what our problems boiled down to."
Ben Figueroa hit a solo-shot off Jose Palacio in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Jose Palacio in the 6th, walked in the 8th, grounded out in the 10th and hit a three-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 11th.
At present, Figueroa is batting .273 and has collected 15 home runs, 39 RBIs, .362 OBP and scored 29 runs.
