His 2nd blast, a solo homerun off Dyar Miller in the 8th inning, landed an estimated 464 feet from home plate. His 3rd shot, a two-run homerun off Dyar Miller in the 9th inning, cleared the fence in left field. Steve finished 3 for 5, with three runs scored with 4 RBI. The final score of the game was 9-2.
