Montes Smacks 3 Out of the Park
<Pensacola Wahoos:team#72> third baseman <Bobby Montes:player#5571> sensed he was going to have a good day at the plate, but he still might have underestimated it a little.

Prior to the start of today's contest with the <Delray Beach Grasshoppers:team#66>, Montes told teammates he was sure he would hit a home run. He did -- three times.

"During batting practice I really had my swing down pat," he recalled. "I felt some thunder in the lumber."

The big day from Montes pushed the Wahoos past the Grasshoppers, 23-3. To go along with the homers, he collected 7 RBIs and scored 4 runs.

"I was seeing good, feeling good and swinging good," Montes told reporters after the game.

<Bobby Montes:player#5571> flied out in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off <Jason Bick:player#7584> in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off <Rikio Tanabe:player#8898> in the 4th, walked in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off <Rikio Tanabe:player#8898> in the 7th, walked in the 9th and hit a two-run single in the 9th.
