3 Home Runs for van der Born Sunday, May 2nd , 2032 It was a good day for the Tiefengrund Tropics and an exceptional one for Stanley van der Born. The 19-year-old designated hitter sent three bombs out of the park to help the Tropics beat the Dutton Tigers 11-1 at John Lee Pettimore Field. "When you're in the zone, the game really slows down," van der Born said when asked about his performance later. "I couldn't even tell you what pitches were thrown. Today feels great, but it is a long season and tomorrow is another day." For the day, he scored 3 times, drove in 4 runs and smacked 4 hits in 4 at-bats. Stanley van der Born hit a two-run home run off Emory Hanson in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Emory Hanson in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Alejandro Hernández in the 4th and singled in the 5th. This year van der Born has hit at a .343 pace and produced 31 RBIs, 10 home runs and scored 22 runs. |
