Carter Smacks 3 Out of the Park Saturday, June 23rd , 2063 Hitting three home runs in a game is usually something to celebrate, but there was no celebration to be found at Hot Chickens Park after the hitting barrage from Carlos Carter. The Hamilton Thunderbirds dropped the contest, 11-6, to the Nashville Hot Chickens, leaving Carter with only a historical footnote as consolation. Carlos is blessed with a natural home run swing so he gets the ball up in the air real quickly," Hamilton manager Jesús Garces said after the loss. "It's just a shame we couldn't win the game, too. I'm sure it spoils the day a little for him." Along with putting three in the stands, Carter went 4-for-4 with 6 RBIs and 3 runs scored. "It's rare that you actually try to hit a home run," he told reporters after the game. "Mostly you'll fail if you really try to hit one, but today I tried on the last one." Carlos Carter hit a solo-shot off Wendell Latham in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Wendell Latham in the 3rd, hit a GRAND SLAM off Wendell Latham in the 5th and singled in the 7th. Batting .282 to date, Carter has 12 home runs and 39 RBIs. |
