Geltz Raps 3 HR Against Raptors Saturday, June 24th , 2023 It was a day for the record books for Crystal Lake Killers right fielder Ray Geltz, who walloped three out of Killer Stadium against the Raptors. However, not even a three-homer game could prevent the Raptors from getting the 12-10 victory. "We threw some good pitches and they hit 'em, and we made some bad pitches and they hit 'em. That's a good strategy for losing ballgames," Crystal Lake skipper Steve Warzecha joked after the loss. Geltz still had a few opportunities to celebrate along the way. He was 3-for-5 for the day, batting in 6 runs and scoring 3 times. "I never, ever thought I would hit three home runs," Geltz said. "I hit three home runs once when I was 12 in Little League and I thought that was going to be the last time." Ray Geltz hit a solo-shot off Jim Unknown in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 3rd, struck out in the 5th, walked in the 7th, grounded out in the 9th and hit a three-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 11th. In 59 games this season, Geltz has batted at a .276 pace with 58 hits and 22 home runs. |
