 | Tuesday, May 11th, 2021: Hosmer Goes 6-7
It was a sensational day at the plate for Eric Hosmer as he led the charge to a 25-5 win over the Bees.
The Albuquerque second baseman was pure misery for the Salt Lake pitching staff. He left them shellshocked with 6 hits in 7 at-bats in an explosive display of hitting.
The manager for the Bees told SION reporters after the game, "Hosmer put the ball into play. He really hit it hard. When you do that, you've got a pretty good chance to do some damage. And that's what happened. I feel like we threw some pretty good pitches, but he just put some good swings on the ball."
E. Hosmer singled in the 1st, struck out in the 2nd, flied out in the 4th, singled in the 5th, hit a three-run home run off J. Unknown in the 7th, hit an RBI double in the 8th, singled in the 8th and hit a three-run home run off R. Robinson in the 9th.
