In the first game, John Boccabella becomes the 18th man to hit two home runs in one inning, he lead off the 6th inning with a solo shot and closed it with a Grandslam for Montreal Expos. Manager Gene Mauch, said of Boccabellaâ excerpts a quiet type of leadership over the pitching staff.â
Boccabella said, âIt was just one of those things.â and addedâI was kinda punchy and forgot that I hit them both in the same inning. I am more relaxed this year.â He will hit 7 home runs and drive in 46 runs, both career highs. His .233 average is the second highest in any season with over 100 at bats.Â
