Elliott Jacks 3 into the Stands Thursday, July 13th , 2051 Greg Elliott of the Wolves won the battle against New England pitching, but lost the war. He hit three out of the park at Fun Spot Stadium, got his name in the league record book, but Wolfeboro came up short in the win column, losing to the Whalers 10-6. The Wolfeboro first baseman was red-hot, the ball just exploded off his bat all day long. "I don't try to hit homers," he said. "I try to go out there and have good at-bats. If I put a good swing on the ball, then it is going to go out of the park. I didn't try to hit the first one or the second one or the third one. I just try to have good at-bats." For the game he went 3 for 4 with 5 RBIs and 3 runs scored. Where does he rank this day in his career? "It's up there," Elliott said. "I'll put it up there in the upper echelon, despite the loss." Greg Elliott hit a two-run home run off Keith Fletcher in the 1st, struck out in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Keith Fletcher in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Bob Carter in the 8th. This season in 88 games Elliott is batting .319 with 19 home runs, 50 RBIs and has scored 55 times. |
