J.R.Towles Smashes TWO Homers Off Pedro Martinez

The other day, I wrote an entry which said "man bites dog." Today's entry should be subtitled "newborn baby bites killer pit bull." No matter what happens to Towles in the future, he will alsays be able to relish the day he hit TWO homeruns off one of the greatest righthanded pitchers of all times. Interesting because the first homer was originally ruled a double by the ump, even though you could clearly see on the TV that the ball went over the fence. Unlike his homer at the BOB in April 08 which was incorrectly ruled a double by the umps, this time there was HR replay and he correctly was awarded the homer he actually DID hit. After that disasterous game at the BOB, in which Cooper loudly and publically derided more than a few players to the media, Towles turned into a nervous wreck and couldn't really do much with the bat and ended up back in Round Rock, where he regained his stroke and his confindence. Hopefully, this time, that call being correctly reversed will do the opposite and spur a great hitting streak.
