For the day, the Fresno right fielder went 3-for-3 against Traverse City with 6 RBIs and 4 runs scored in a brilliant display of power hitting that led the Running Rebels to the 13-4 win.
"I tell you what. I'm shocked because I didn't think that last ball had enough to get out," he told BNN reporters in the clubhouse following the game. "I thought it was just going to be a long out."
Kyle Benson hit a solo-shot off Pat Potter in the 2nd, hit a two-run home run off Pat Potter in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Miguel Gomez in the 5th, walked in a run in the 6th and was hit by a pitch in the 8th.
