May 12, 2006: Castr-ation

Ramon Castro did his best Babe Ruth imitation on this day. He drove in 4 runs, scored 3 of his own, and collected 11 total bases.

Summarizing each Castro at-bat:
- Bottom of 2nd: Castro hits a 3-run homer, giving Fleetwood a 3-2 lead.
- Bottom of 4th: Castro hits a solo home run, pulling Fleetwood within 1 run at 4-5.
- Bottom of 6th: Castro grounds into a double play. (Hey, nobody is perfect.)
- Bottom of 8th: Castro hits a 2-out triple, then scores on a wild pitch to give Fleetwood a 6-5 lead. (No pinch-runner needed.)

Derrick Turnbow earned the win with 3 scoreless innings of relief, and Fleetwood takes 3 of 4 games from the potent Toledo Mudhens.
