Echevarria Excels, Jacksonville Blows Out Bluff City
The Jacksonville Suns bested the Bluff City Beasties, 16-3, at Ravens Ballpark. Angel Echevarria was named player of the game. He went 4 for 5 with a double, 3 singles, and a walk, while scoring 3 times and driving in 3. The Beasties fall to 7-9 and continue their uninspiring start to the 1997 season.

Chris Gomez, who is tied for 8th in the ATL in extra base hits with 8, aided the Jacksonville cause with a run-scoring double in the top of the fifth. For the game, the second baseman went 3-5 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 times.

Echevarria said his wife shared good advice with him before the game. "She said, 'Don't allow this game to make you mad.' When I thought about it, I realized this is just a game. I was able to relax at the plate."
