MILWAUKEE -- With one swing of the bat, Victor Caratini turned a forgettable performance into one of the most memorable moments of his career.
After striking out in each of his first four plate appearances, Caratini hit a three-run homer off Scott Effross with two outs in the 10th inning to give the Milwaukee Brewers a 5-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Monday.
"It's a really hard sport," Caratini said through a translator. "You know you're going to fail. (It's) just (a matter of) staying confident, going to next at-bat, knowing that you've got another at-bat and have got to be able to fight it, help the team win and move on from there.
