An Unforgettable Mother's Day for the Fitzers
No matter where he shops in the future, Kevin Fitzer will never be able to top the Mother's Day present he delivered with his mom in the stands at Avista Stadium on Sunday, May 10th. Spokane's first baseman crushed a solo home run to center field in his first at-bat
No matter where he shops in the future, Kevin Fitzer will never be able to top the Mother's Day present he delivered with his mom in the stands at Avista Stadium on Sunday, May 10th.
Spokane's first baseman crushed a solo home run to center field in his first at-bat of the day and then topped that with an opposite-field grand slam the next time up as the Indians topped the Dust Devils, 8-3, to complete their first series win of the year.
“Having my mom there on Mother’s Day made it incredibly special," said Fitzer. "To hit two home runs and share that moment with her in the stands is something I’ll never forget. It means a lot to be able to make memories like that with family watching.”
Fitzer's multi-HR game was the first of his professional career while the five RBIs were a new single-game high. The 24-year-old out of Aliso Viejo, CA, has already set a career high with six home runs this season, tying him for the top spot in the Northwest League (as of 5/12).
"Having our whole family together for this series was incredible, especially since the three of us traveled in from Southern California and Utah," said Lisa Fitzer. "The Mother's Day game is a memory that will stay with us forever; between being with family in person, hearing from friends and family from across the country during the game, cheering alongside all the other moms in the stands, and of course seeing Kevin hit both a home run and a grand slam in a single game was simply fantastic–a baseball mom’s dream!"
