CINCINNATI - Dean Palmer was in a groove, and the results spoke for themselves. He powered Florida to a 10-5 win over Cincinnati by homering three times. A pitch from Paul Wagner in the 1st inning left his bat for a two-run homerun, landing 445 feet from home plate in left-center. A 422 foot drive to right-center marked his 2nd bomb, a two-run homerun off Tommy Greene in the 6th inning. His 3rd shot, a solo homerun off Turk Wendell in the 9th inning, cleared the fence in left field. Dean finished 5 for 5, scoring FOUR runs and driving in 6 runs.
