3-HR Game for Castillo
<Kissimmee Rage:team#65> left fielder <Jose Castillo:player#7812> almost did it all today. He sent three shots out of the ballpark, scored 3 times and drove in 5 runs and had 3 hits in 4 at-bats.

The one thing he could not do, however, was lead the Rage to victory. The <Pensacola Wahoos:team#72> escaped with the 8-5 win by the <Pensacola:team#72> despite being on the receiving end of the barrage from Castillo.

"I'd be lying if I said I didn't like hitting three homers, but losing takes a little glitter off the game," he admitted to BNN writers after the game.

<Jose Castillo:player#7812> hit a solo-shot off <Tony Orosco:player#5144> in the 2nd, hit a three-run home run off <Tony Orosco:player#5144> in the 3rd, flied out in the 5th and hit a solo-shot off <Ruben Marroquin:player#11444> in the 8th.

"When someone hits three home runs, you put yourself in a tough position to win," said Kissimmee manager  . "We were lucky to win this one. I don't think it matters how hard you throw, especially in the East. If you leave a ball out over the plate to good Liberty League hitters, if they get a bead on you and you leave it over the middle, they're probably going to take a good hack at it."

Thus far this season Castillo is hitting .341 with 8 home runs, 35 RBIs and 45 runs scored. He has 57 hits in 167 at-bats and has played in 44 games.
