Four-bagger Feast: Lara Slugs 3 for Ft. Wayne Friday, August 23rd , 2024 Fans seated in the bleacher section at Cincinnati Grounds were taking cover all day long as Victor Lara zeroed in on them, rattling three long blasts off the seats in a display of Herculean power. The big game from the Ft. Wayne left fielder helped the Earthquakes take the victory, 13-6, over the Buckeye Local Panthers.

For the game, he collected 3 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 5 and scored 3 runs. Victor Lara hit a solo-shot off Jim Unknown in the 2nd, grounded out in the 3rd, walked in the 5th, hit a three-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Jim Unknown in the 9th.
