3-HR Binge for Ruiz Against Spartanburg

In a powerful performance that left the fans at Legion Stadium buzzing, Greenwood Braves center fielder Chico Ruiz blasted a trio of home runs en route to a win, 4-3, over the Spartanburg Phillies.

"Everything was clicking," Ruiz told the press. "My timing was good and I got pitches I could handle and I didn't miss them."

Ruiz shined brilliantly in the win, with 4 hits in 4 at-bats, 3 RBIs and 3 runs scored.

"It's not just one guy, it's everybody," Braves manager Antonio Gonzalez said. "Chico played great but it takes more than one guy to win a game."

Chico Ruiz hit a solo-shot off Erskine Thomason in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Erskine Thomason in the 5th and hit a solo-shot off James Goodwin in the 7th.

At present, Ruiz is batting .417 with 10 hits and 4 home runs. He has knocked in 4 runs and scored 6 times.
