He hit for the circuit again in the third, and Rollins took over in the fourth with a four-base knock and a duplication in the ninth. The pitcher, hitting 3 for 3, barely missed batting another home run in the sixth, when he hit a ball that bound- i ed back in the park from the top of the centerfield fence.
