3 Home Runs for Sanders Friday, June 18th , 2021 Jaylin Sanders brutalized the Tiverton Colonels pitching staff, launching three home runs in the 7-2 Buffalo victory at Wegman's Field. The Buffalo Bellflowers center 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 Jaylin Sanders today," Colonels manager Dave Maloney said. "That's my assessment of the game. That's what our problems boiled down to." Jaylin Sanders grounded out in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Andrew Braden in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 5th, struck out in the 6th and hit a two-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 8th. In 63 games Sanders is hitting .344 this season with 88 hits, 18 home runs, 33 RBIs, 34 walks, .425 OBP and has scored 49 runs. |
