A historic individual milestone couldn’t prevent a team defeat as the Hawks dropped an 11-6 decision to Wagner, despite Jonthan Gonzalez Perez launching his way into the record books.
Gonzalez Perez connected for his 12th home run of the current campaign, establishing a new modern single-season record for the program. The slugger’s latest long ball came during what ultimately became a disappointing loss for his squad.
While Gonzalez Perez celebrated his personal achievement at the plate, the Hawks were unable to generate enough offense to match Wagner’s 11-run output in the high-scoring affair.
The record-setting blast represents a bright spot in what has been an impressive individual season for Gonzalez Perez, even as the team continues to battle through challenging competition.
