Rizzo Is King of Swing: Goes Deep 3 Times Monday, September 10th , 2001 Anyone wearing a glove and sitting in the bleachers for today's House of David-Gothams game had a good chance at snagging a home run ball. Wandering first baseman Anthony Rizzo thrice sent eager fans scurrying to catch a souvenir, helping lead the Wandering to a win, 15-6, over New York. "Hey, the three homers were great, but I'm just trying to help my ballclub," Rizzo said later. "I'm not going out there thinking I need another home run." Rizzo was 5-for-6 on the day with 5 RBI. Anthony Rizzo hit a solo-shot off Christy Mathewson in the 1st, hit a three-run home run off Christy Mathewson in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Guy Hecker in the 6th, flied out in the 7th and singled in the 9th. This season, Rizzo has delivered 88 hits in 309 at-bats for a .285 average with 26 home runs. He is getting on base at a .397 clip and his totals also include 65 RBIs and 65 runs scored. This year Rizzo has played in 90 games. |
