Ford Whacks 3 Out of the Park for Detroit
Wednesday, August 12th , 2054
Detroit X-Wings bombardier Ronnie Ford set his sights on the stands and blasted three balls over the fence as his club beat the Louisville Bats, 6-5.
"I guess you could say I was a good guesser today, especially on the last one," Ford told writers in the postgame press room. "I was ahead in the count, so I gambled that I'd get a certain pitch, and got all of it."
For the game, the Detroit center fielder had 3 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 3, and scored 3 runs.
Ronnie Ford hit a solo-shot off Rodolfo Márquez in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Rodolfo Márquez in the 4th, flied out in the 5th, walked in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Bob McCormick in the 9th.
In 112 games this season, Ford is batting .365 with 150 hits and 52 home runs. He has scored 113 runs and driven in 102.
