Big Bang! 3 HR for Evanston's Bennett Friday, August 2nd , 2047 Hitting three home runs in a game is usually something to celebrate, but there was no celebration to be found at Jewel/Oscp Stadium after the hitting barrage from Mike Bennett. The Evanston Elitists dropped the contest 8-7 to the Concord Coyotes, leaving Bennett with only a historical footnote as consolation. Mike is blessed with a natural home run swing so he gets the ball up in the air real quickly," Evanston manager Ulric Duval said after the loss. "It's just a shame we couldn't win the game, too. I'm sure it spoils the day a little for him." Along with putting three in the stands, Bennett went 3-for-3 with 5 RBIs and 3 runs scored. "It's rare that you actually try to hit a home run," he told reporters after the game. "Mostly you'll fail if you really try to hit one, but today I tried on the last one." Mike Bennett hit a solo-shot off Andrew Taborda in the 2nd, hit a three-run home run off Andrew Taborda in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off George Henneberry in the 6th and walked in the 8th. On the year Bennett has hit .280 with 29 home runs, 71 RBIs and scored 68 runs. |
