Big Bang! 3 HR for Ellistown's van de Ven Sunday, August 1st , 2032 At Legion Field today, Roelof van de Ven hit homer after homer after homer. But they didn't add up to enough to beat the Salt Lake City Second Wives as the Ellistown Marks went down to defeat, 14-12. "It was a good game for me, not so good for our team," the Ellistown 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 6 at-bats, drove in 7 runs, and scored 3 times. "The third one was totally unexpected," van de Ven 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." Roelof van de Ven flied out in the 1st, flied out in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Dae-sung Kim in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off Michael Knight in the 8th and hit a GRAND SLAM off Michael Knight in the 9th. This year van de Ven has collected a .291 batting average to date with 110 hits in 378 at-bats, 79 RBIs, 27 home runs and scored 72 times. He has played in 99 games. |
