Abbott Bangs 4 out of the Park Thursday, August 22nd , 2047 It was a fairy-tale day for Todd Abbott -- right up until the end. The Manhatten Meatheads first baseman had an almost-unbelievable 4 home runs at Manhattan Metro Field, but his fairy-tale ending was snatched away by the Aberdeen Scorpions, who took a 15-9 win. "I'm paid to hit 'em, and I hit 'em real good today, but not good enough to win the game," Abbott said to BNN reporters after his historic game. "The loss tarnishes it a bit and takes away some from the day. Give it to the Scorpions, they hung in and stayed with us the whole time." On his big day, the first baseman for the Meatheads had 4 hits in 5 at-bats, 4 RBIs and 4 runs scored. "Todd probably earned himself a few days without hearing any criticism from me," Manhatten manager Ignaty Raev told reporters later. "The rest of the guys, not so much." Todd Abbott hit a solo-shot off Wu-ti Gong in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Wu-ti Gong in the 3rd, grounded out in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Victor Panzini in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Bennie Barlowe in the 9th. This year Abbott has hit at a .417 clip with 45 hits, 29 home runs, 49 RBIs and 38 runs scored. View Boxscore View Game Log |
