Hat Trick of Home Runs for Rivera Friday, August 15th , 2025 At Earthquakes Stadium, Jose Rivera hit homer after homer after homer. But they didn't add up to enough to beat the Ft. Wayne Earthquakes as the San Antonio Griffins went down to defeat, 9-6. "It was a good game for me, not so good for our team," the San Antonio third baseman said. "I got lucky. I made some good swings on some pitches. We just didn't put up one in the win column." On his monumental day, he had 3 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 4 runs, and scored 3 times. "The third one was totally unexpected," Rivera told reporters after his extraordinary game. "I just wanted to make good contact, never thinking I would get another home run and bang, I got number three." Jose Rivera hit a solo-shot off Rick Hall in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Rick Hall in the 4th, flied out in the 6th and hit a two-run home run off Shalom Bruin in the 8th. For the season, Rivera is currently batting .334 with 27 home runs and 83 RBIs. In 106 games he has reached base at a .398 rate and scored 64 runs to date. |
