Veteran Mitchell Hits Three Dingers
Monday, August 8th, 1994
Fans are still buzzing after Atlanta whipped the Texas Rangers by the score of 14-3 today at Arlington Stadium.
Kevin Mitchell smashed three home runs in the contest, a feat that would be a career highlight for most players and few fans ever see. In a tremendous performance, the third baseman bashed out 3 hits in 3 at-bats, had 6 RBIs and scored 4 times.
At the postgame press conference, Mitchell said it was an "unbelievable" feeling to hit three home runs in a game.
"Getting one homer is special, and two is great," Mitchell said. "Three is just... wow."
Kevin Mitchell hit a solo-shot off Jimmy Key in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Jimmy Key in the 4th, walked in the 5th, walked in the 7th and hit a GRAND SLAM off Bob Kipper in the 8th.
For the year Mitchell has hit .267 with 40 home runs, 95 RBIs and scored 88 runs.
