Threes were wild Wedensday night for Elian Herrera of the Albuquerque Isotopes.

Herrera hit 3 for 3 with three runs batted in and three runs scored to lead the Isotopes to a 7-2 victory in game two of a doubleheader with Tucson at Isotopes Park.

The home team led just 3-2 going into the bottom of the sixth. That’s when Josh Bard looped a one-out double to center. Then Osvaldo Martinez drew a walk. Matt Angle singled to load the bases for Herrera, batting in the leadoff position.

Early last month, Cyrus Martinez began serving The Hershey Company in Hershey, Penn., as its council, labor and employment attorney.

Susan M. Angele, vice president and global deputy general council says that Martinez will provide legal advice, training and manage litigation with respect to labor and employment matters, including discrimination law, employee safety and employment policies and practices and union related matters.

Back in the old days of not-so-long-ago I could plan a whole afternoon of strictly quiet and pleasant time working on and researching my next column.
