Soria Belts 3 HRs Thursday, July 25th , 2019 Hitting three home runs in a game is usually something to celebrate, but there was no celebration to be found at Keelhaulers Ballpark after the hitting barrage from Michael Soria. The Chillicothe Paints dropped the contest 8-7 to the Santa Rosa Desperados, leaving Soria with only a historical footnote as consolation. Michael is blessed with a natural home run swing so he gets the ball up in the air real quickly," Chillicothe manager Angel Cano said after the loss. "It's just a shame we couldn't win the game, too. I'm sure it spoils the day a little for him." Along with putting three in the stands, Soria went 3-for-5 with 3 RBIs and 3 runs scored. "It's rare that you actually try to hit a home run," he told reporters after the game. "Mostly you'll fail if you really try to hit one, but today I tried on the last one." Michael Soria hit a solo-shot off Oscar Hernandez in the 1st, struck out in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Oscar Hernandez in the 4th, struck out in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Miguel Aviles in the 8th. Looking at his present stats, Soria has compiled a .254 batting average in 36 games with a .344 on-base percentage, while hitting 16 home runs and driving in 25 runs. |
