Franklin Pounds 3 HR Monday, May 11th , 2054 Fans seated in the bleacher section at Doak Field were taking cover all day long as Jeffrey Franklin zeroed in on them, rattling three long blasts off the seats in a display of Herculean power. The big game from the Indiana first baseman helped the Hoosiers take the victory, 14-12, over the North Carolina State Wolfpack. "I told myself not to press on the last one," he told reporters in the postgame press conference. "I knew I couldn't force it -- it has to be a nice easy swing." For the game, he collected 5 hits in 7 at-bats, drove in 4 and scored 5 runs. Jeffrey Franklin hit a solo-shot off Jack Hollis in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Jack Hollis in the 5th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 7th, flied out in the 9th and hit a two-run home run off Dave Davis in the 11th. So far this year, Franklin is batting .257 with 10 home runs and 21 RBIs. |
