Madraa Belts 3 HR for Toucans Friday, April 26th , 2148 At Thunderdome, Madidu Madraa hit homer after homer after homer. But they didn't add up to enough to beat the El Paso Thunderbirds as the Sao Paulo Toucans went down to defeat, 12-10. "It was a good game for me, not so good for our team," the Sao Paulo catcher said. "I got lucky. I made some good swings on some pitches. We just didn't put up one in the win column." On his monumental day, he had 4 hits in 5 at-bats, drove in 6 runs, and scored 3 times. "The third one was totally unexpected," Madraa told reporters after his extraordinary game. "I just wanted to make good contact, never thinking I would get another home run and bang, I got number three." Madidu Madraa grounded out in the 2nd, hit a two-run home run off Preki Cvetkovic in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Sixten Merschdorf in the 8th and hit a three-run home run off Yoichi Matsumoto in the 9th. This year, Madraa is hitting .281 with 18 hits, 4 home runs, 13 RBIs and has scored 6 runs. |
