Blast Off! 3 HR for Alvarado Thursday, October 1st , 2065 Today was a special one for Tom Alvarado of the Minnesota Mallards as he slammed three home runs in the 6-1 win over the Maryland Bridegrooms. "Lately, I've been uppercutting the ball too much," he said to sportswriters after the game. "I would hit it hard, but they just went sky high and stayed in the ballpark. No big long outs for me in this game. I leveled out my swing and connected on the sweet spot. I knew they were gone the minute I hit 'em." The Minnesota right fielder collected 3 hits in 3 at-bats, drove in 5, and scored 3 runs in the contest at Dylan Park at Hennepin. Tom Alvarado hit a solo-shot off Ron Dujardin in the 1st, hit a three-run home run off Ron Dujardin in the 3rd, walked in the 5th and hit a solo-shot off Ron Dujardin in the 8th.
