Luisangel Acuña became the first player to hit four home runs in a Venezuelan winter league game

into the empty seats in left turns a 34

deficit into a 6-4 lead. That ball was

inside. He opened the hips up, went and

got it. his next at bat or I don't know

if his next at bat can't be but later in

the game first pitch again from a lefty

big deficit it's 15 to7 now it's 16 to7

so they're just running away with it but

he's got two homers on the day okay and

now here he comes in the seventh inning

there's two outs he's hit two home runs

both of them on the first pitch of the

at bat is he going to get another juicy

one or do they know maybe make him chase

let's not just give him a pitch in the

zone own. The kid's hot. There you go.

Fast ball up top and then fast ball up

and away. Gets the strike. He says,

"It's all right. I wasn't going to hit

that anyway. I'm trying to pull the

ball." And that was high and away. So,

why don't you just throw some lazy off

speed and let me yank it into them empty

seats again. That's three homers on the

day. Nobody in this league has ever hit

four home runs in a single game.

Can it happen? Well, this is the ninth

inning. The batter before him in a

10-run game, they throw at him once.

They throw at him twice. And the batter

lets him know that's twice now. Twice

you threw at me. I didn't appreciate it

either time. And then bench is clear.

It's a lot to do about nothing. They

eject that pitcher. That batter goes to

first base because like he says, twice.

Twice now. Uh once and then twice. And

now we're counting. And the manager

saying, "Let's all get out of here. Come

on, let's get out of here. Which brings

up our next batter and brings in a

position player and the first pitch of

the atbat. Absolute ephus ball. And he

smashes it. I don't care if we're up 10.

I want to be the first player in

Venezuelan professional baseball to hit

four homers in a single game. And that I

have. Out of my brother's shadow, I

bloom.

I don't know if we thought all of that,

but it was
