Torii Da Man!




It's unlikely that any right-handed hitter could bang up NL Cy Young winner and hard-righty Jake Peavy for three round trippers and 8 RBIs in cavernous Wreckin' So Field in an entire season. To do it in one game is unimaginable. Hats off to Torii!!!

Torii Hunter rocketed 3 homeruns and had 8 RBI as the Pocono Chin Music
ballclub embarrassed the Outlaw Josey Wales by the count of 13 to 2.

Hunter was unconscious all evening. The Outlaw fans hated to see him
approaching the batter's box as he just kept delivering base hits! He popped
a two-run clout over the fence in the 1st inning, doubled which plated a run
in the 3rd inning, smacked a three-run homer in the 4th inning, cleared the
fences for a two-run home run (his 4th of the season) in the 7th inning and
doubled in the 8th inning. Pocono had many opportunities throughout the game
and scored in 6 separate innings.

Johan Santana(1-0) went 7 and 2/3 innings allowing 2 runs for the victory.
Jake Peavy(0-1) absorbed the loss. He got hit pretty hard, allowing 8 hits
and 2 walks in 3 and 2/3 innings.

'The ball was jumping off my bat' Hunter said. 'I didn't do anything
differently, it's the same way I always approach the game.'
