Rivera Booms 3 out of the Park Thursday, June 15th , 2023 Juan Rivera went yard three times in a Washington HS Atlantics victory over the Columbus HS Pirates at PNC Park today. "I was in a groove," he said. "Every pitch they tossed up there looked like a grapefruit." For the day, the Washington HS left fielder went 3-for-4 against Columbus HS with 7 RBIs and 5 runs scored in a brilliant display of power hitting that led the Atlantics to the 22-17 win. "I tell you what. I'm shocked because I didn't think that last ball had enough to get out," he told BNN reporters in the clubhouse following the game. "I thought it was just going to be a long out." Juan Rivera walked in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Burton Wemp in the 3rd, grounded out in the 5th, walked in the 7th, walked in a run in the 7th, hit a GRAND SLAM off Roth Wendorf in the 8th and hit a solo-shot off Juan Cedillo in the 9th.
