He has done it!
Camillo Meriken has reached the 300 home run mark. He did it today, but the Rivendell Royals still dropped the game to the Minas Tirith Titans by the score of 7-2.
“Number 300 was hard to come by. I think the pressure was getting to me a little bit. I got a call a few days ago from a couple of guys that have been through this and they just said, ‘Keep going, have some fun. Just be you.’ I think that helped me a little bit, having those guys make a call to me and try to settle some of the nerves down.”
On his historic day Meriken was 3-for-4 with 2 RBI and 1 run scored.
Career-to-date Meriken has rung up a .291 average, played in 1336 games and collected 305 doubles, 9 triples and 300 home runs.
