Hensley Belts 3 HRs Saturday, August 15th , 2009 At Braves Ballpark, Mark Hensley hit homer after homer after homer. But they didn't add up to enough to beat the Green Bay Braves as the Ottawa Capitals went down to defeat, 14-9. "It was a good game for me, not so good for our team," the Ottawa first 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 4 hits in 5 at-bats, drove in 5 runs, and scored 4 times. "The third one was totally unexpected," Hensley 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." Mark Hensley hit a two-run home run off Joe Bell in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Joe Bell in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, struck out in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Estevan Meraz in the 9th. For the season, Hensley is hitting at a .256 clip with 8 home runs, 23 RBIs and has scored 21 runs. He has 33 hits, 13 walks and a .331 on-base percentage. |
