Ramirez Cracks 3 HR for Cardinals:
Louisville right fielder Manny Ramirez blasted three homers today at Russ Chandler Stadium in the 11-1 Cardinals victory over the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
For the game, Manny Ramirez scored 3 times and knocked in 6 runs. When he hit his last home run, his teammates, hearing the crack of the bat, leaped off the bench and rushed on the field to greet the jubilant Ramirez when he reached home plate.
"It was just one game, but it sure was a lot of fun -- 4-for-5, three roundtrippers and a win," a gleeful Ramirez told BNN reporters in a postgame interview. "What a day."
Manny Ramirez singled in the 1st, grounded out in the 4th, hit a three-run home run off Ray Culp in the 6th, hit a two-run home run off Jonathan Pettibone in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Wilson Alvarez in the 9th.
Ramirez is hitting .283 for the season with 46 home runs, 116 RBIs and 105 runs scored. He has 145 hits in 512 at-bats and played in 136 games.
