Notes and Comments

(1) Here is what the commentator said
(A) "...and that is belted into right-centrefield ... and there it goes!!!"
(B) "Brett goes deep for the second time in as many nights"
(C) "Boy, that got out of here in a hurry"
(D) "It almost cleared all three levels of signage in right-centre,
hitting the top level right next to The Big Mitt"
(E) "That did not 'sound' like his other shots
and he may have broken his bat but it still had more than enough
to get out of here for his team-leading eleventh home run of the season"

(2) "Brett Roneberg, 'Big Dawg' of the game (pictured)
hit his 11th home run of the season
and went 3-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored"

(3) "Brett Roneberg collected three hits, two RBI and scored twice
as the Portland Sea Dogs downed the New Hampshire Fisher Cats,
14-6 in an Eastern League Northern Division game Saturday
Roneberg started the scoring with a two-run home run
in the bottom of the first inning"

(4) "Brett Roneberg and Edgar Martinez homered
and Kenny Perez knocked a bases-loaded triple
as the Portland Sea Dogs trounced the New Hampshire Fisher Cats
14-6 Saturday in the Eastern League
Roneberg homered with a man aboard as Portland
grabbed a 3-0 lead in the first inning"

(5) "Brett Roneberg hit his team-leading 11th home run
After walking Mike Campo in the first,
Roneberg sent a ball into the trees beyond the right-field fence
for the second straight night
His 11th homer tied him for fifth in the league,
as well as marking his best homer production since 2001,
when he hit 11 in Class A,
and then five more when he was promoted to the Sea Dogs
(while with the Marlins organization)
"I remember that. It was a good time," Roneberg said.
"I came up here and finished strong
Hopefully, I can keep this going."
Roneberg went 3 for 5 on Saturday"

(6) "Right fielder Brett Roneberg (3-for-5, 2 RBI) smashed a
first-inning home run for the second consecutive contest,
giving him four against the Fisher Cats this year"
