Helwig Belts 3 HR Against John Jay HS
Tuesday, April 26th, 2039
Temiskaming District Secondary School Saints first baseman Andy Helwig almost did it all today. He sent three shots out of the ballpark, scored 3 times and drove in 5 runs and had 3 hits in 4 at-bats.

The one thing he could not do, however, was lead the Saints to victory. The John Jay HS Patriots escaped with the 14-5 win by the John Jay HS despite being on the receiving end of the barrage from Helwig.

"I'd be lying if I said I didn't like hitting three homers, but losing takes a little glitter off the game," he admitted to BNN writers after the game.

Andy Helwig hit a three-run home run off Myles Skiffington in the 1st, struck out in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Myles Skiffington in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Myles Skiffington in the 8th and walked in the 9th.

"When someone hits three home runs, you put yourself in a tough position to win," said Temiskaming District Secondary School manager Vic Rainville. "We were lucky to win this one. I don't think it matters how hard you throw, especially in the High School CL. If you leave a ball out over the plate to good High School Stars League hitters, if they get a bead on you and you leave it over the middle, they're probably going to take a good hack at it."

Helwig is currently batting .250 with 11 home runs, 30 RBIs and 25 runs scored. He has 28 hits in 112 at-bats.
