Mark Bellhorn has been-there-done-that when it comes to home runs, having hit one in 23 major-league ballparks and three during Boston’s storied postseason run in 2004.

But even in the most lopsided shutout win in Sky Sox history – a 19-0 thrashing of Sacramento on Friday – a pair of shots felt pretty good.

“Always,” said Bellhorn, who hit no-doubt shots as a left-hander in the third inning and as a righty in the seventh. “Especially two like that, I’ve only done that a few times and to have them from both sides, that’s like the ultimate day.”

Bellhorn’s home runs were part of a 19-hit attack against the team with the best record in the Pacific Coast League.

Matt Murton drove in four runs, Eric Young Jr. and Sal Fasano each scored four times and every Sky Sox hitter either drove in multiple runs or posted a multihit game.

Frankly, the postgame fireworks seemed redundant.

Lost in the craziness was Brandon Hynick’s performance. The Rockies’ right-handed prospect (8-7) threw seven shutout innings and faced just four batters over the minimum.

“His pitches tonight were probably more sharp than they had been in the past,” manager Stu Cole said. “He was working down in the zone and he was getting ahead in the count so he was able to use his off-speed stuff and really keep them off-balance.”

NOTES

The Sky Sox previous record for lopsided win in a shutout came on July 30, 1990 in a 16-0 win over Las Vegas in the second game of a doubleheader. … Sacramento reliever Jay Marshall carried a 1.99 ERA through a PCL-high 41 appearances before giving up seven runs – five earned – in the seventh, jumping his ERA to 2.91. … Joel Peralta threw a scoreless inning in relief in his first appearance since returning from the Rockies.
