| The Trysting Place Ranger hitting machine claimed another victim Sunday,
as the Rangers rolled to a 19-3 victory over the Braves. Every Ranger batter
had at least one hit, and scored at least one run, as the offense remained
in high gear. The Braves grabbed a quick 3-run lead in the first, but would
be shut out the rest of the way by the pitching combo of starter John Arnold
and reliever Dan Trivett. With a light drizzle falling on a cool and cloudy
day, Ranger 1B Jeff Kovnesky stepped up to the plate in the bottom of the
3rd. The Rangers trailed at the time 3-2, but had loaded the bases. Kovnesky
quickly unloaded them, crushing a grand slam to right field. Jeff has the
team lead in HR's with 2, both grand slams. Other hitting stars include
RF DJ Haas, who socked 2 doubles and drove in 6 runs, Dan Trivett who was
3-4 with 3 runs scored, and DH John Bergner with 3 hits. |
