Jimenez Strokes 3 HR Against Sioux City Tuesday, July 19th , 2107 The old superstition that "bad news comes in threes" certainly came true for the Sioux City Explorers. Medford right fielder Bill Jimenez tripled up on the home runs to propel the Alouettes to a win, 9-7, at Lewis & Clark Park. "We had our chances to win the game, but we just didn't come through," Sioux City manager Frank Salazar said. "Jimenez hit the heck out of the ball." In addition to the homers, Jimenez collected 3 hits in 4 at-bats, 5 RBIs and scored 3 runs. "Easy swings get you home runs," he said after the game. "I kept telling myself not to press. They have to be nice and easy swings." Bill Jimenez struck out in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Victor Paredes in the 4th, walked in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off Remilde Piteiras in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Zachary Dyer in the 9th. For the season, Jimenez has hit .322 with 18 home runs and 36 RBIs. He has played in 58 games and scored 42 times. |
