Marco Rojas Bashes Three over the Wall
Friday, March 27th , 1953
Marco Rojas was in a home run mode at Rocketmen Park. The Brest University catcher massacred Wildcats pitching, cracking out three home runs and going 4-for-5 with 6 RBIs and scoring 3 runs. But this sensational performance didn't really matter. Alphonso Winters University won the ballgame, 11-7, despite the three homers.
"I wish a big 'W' had come with this," he said. "It's great to hit three homers, but the bottom line is whether you win or lose."
Nonetheless, Rojas will now have a place in the league record book.
"I guess when you're hot, you're hot," he said. "I'm not going up there trying to hit home runs. I put the good part of the bat on it and luckily three of them went out today."
Marco Rojas hit a solo-shot off Andy Miller in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Andy Miller in the 6th, hit a three-run home run off Sanshiro Moriyama in the 8th and grounded out in the 9th.
This season, Rojas is hitting .444 with 3 home runs.
