Hernández Packs a Wallop -- Hits 3 HR Against Torch Friday, February 22nd , 2058 Gulf Oil Drillers catcher José Hernández had a magnificent game against the Amoco Torch today, rocketing three balls out of Visions Field to help the Drillers take the 15-4 victory. "I got some good pitches to hit and I creamed them," he said after the game. "The first was a big, fat fastball and the last two were hanging curves. All three were mistakes." For the game, Hernández went 3-for-3 with 5 RBIs and 5 runs scored. "There's a fine line between hitting home runs and line drives," Gulf Oil manager Everton Dibble said later. "Seems like José found his home run stroke today." José Hernández hit a three-run home run off Victor Bear in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Victor Bear in the 3rd, walked in the 4th, walked in the 5th and hit a solo-shot off Mal Ross in the 7th.
