Lopera Slugs 4 HR Against Tuna Thursday, February 7th , 2058 Hitting a single home run is a tough task. Hitting two in a game is impressive. Hitting three is remarkable. Anything beyond that is borderline unbelievable -- yet that's what Juan Lopera did today in the 18-6 Intelligrated Tigers victory over the Bumblebee Tuna. Lopera went 5-for-6 with 4 home runs and drove in 11 runs in a once-in-a-lifetime feat that the opposing manager later labeled "impossible." "I don't believe it really happened," Tuna manager Justin Decker joked to BNN reporters afterward. "I don't ever enjoy losing a game, but this kid was special today. I have never seen a guy hit 4 in a game before. I didn't enjoy it, but it was special." Juan Lopera flied out in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Pedro McMahon in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Henry Leister in the 5th, hit a GRAND SLAM off Manny Herbella in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off Armando Estrada in the 9th. This season Lopera is batting .474 with 14 home runs. He has scored 36 runs and driven in 44. View Boxscore View Game Log |
