Icaza Socks It to Beijing 3 Times Tuesday, July 2nd , 2143 Armando Icaza was in a home run mode today at Muhammad Ali Jinnah Stadium. The Karachi right fielder massacred Emperors pitching, cracking out three home runs and going 3-for-5 with 4 RBIs and scoring 3 runs. But this sensational performance didn't really matter. Beijing won the ballgame 9-8 despite the three homers. "I wish a big 'W' had come with this," he said. "It's great to hit three homers, but the bottom line is whether you win or lose." Nonetheless, Icaza will now have a place in the league record book. "I guess when you're hot, you're hot," he said. "I'm not going up there trying to hit home runs. I put the good part of the bat on it and luckily three of them went out today." Armando Icaza struck out in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Jean Bart in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Siad Peponi in the 6th, hit a two-run home run off Siad Peponi in the 7th and struck out in the 9th. This year Icaza has hit at a .235 pace and produced 6 RBIs, 4 home runs and scored 7 runs. |
