3 Home Runs for Perez
Friday, April 16th , 2021
Oregon Ducks first baseman Tony Perez had a magnificent game against the Virginia Cavaliers, rocketing three balls out of Davenport Field at Disharoon Park to help the Ducks win, 8-7.
"I got some good pitches to hit and I creamed them," he said after the game. "The first was a big, fat fastball and the last two were hanging curves. All three were mistakes."
For the game, Perez went 4-for-5 with 6 RBIs and 3 runs scored.
"There's a fine line between hitting home runs and line drives," Oregon manager Brian Mehalko said later. "Seems like Tony found his home run stroke today."
Tony Perez hit a three-run home run off Morgan Jenkins in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Jay Edwards in the 5th, singled in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Matt Wilken in the 9th.
On the year, Perez is hitting .313 with 42 hits, 9 home runs, 27 RBIs, .395 OBP and has scored 21 runs.
