Rodriguez Socks It to Houston 3 Times Wednesday, August 25th , 2021 At The Sun Bowl, Alberto Rodriguez hit homer after homer after homer. But they didn't add up to enough to beat the Houston Apollos as the El Paso Mavericks went down to defeat, 9-6. "It was a good game for me, not so good for our team," the El Paso center fielder 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 3 at-bats, drove in 4 runs, and scored 3 times. "The third one was totally unexpected," Rodriguez 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." Alberto Rodriguez was hit by a pitch in the 1st, was hit by a pitch in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Julius Stone in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Ricky Ramirez in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Ricky Ramirez in the 8th. Rodriguez is hitting .282 this year with 9 home runs, 24 RBIs and 29 runs scored. He has 35 hits in 124 at-bats, 26 walks and a .426 on-base percentage. Rodriguez has played in 67 games. |
