Prairie Dogs Meyer Raps 3 Homers
Wednesday, August 12th , 2054
Eric Meyer brutalized the Watertown Headhunters pitching staff, launching three home runs in the 33-12 Pueblo victory at Headhunters Ballpark. The Pueblo Prairie Dogs center fielder was red-hot, the ball just exploding off his bat all day.
"I don't try to hit homers," he said later. "I try to go out there and put a good swing on the ball, and sometimes it is going to go out of the park. I didn't try to hit the first one or the second one or the third one."
For the game, he went 3-for-6 with 6 RBIs and 4 runs scored.
"Too much Eric Meyer today," Headhunters manager Charles Walters said. "That's my assessment of the game. That's what our problems boiled down to."
Eric Meyer hit a two-run home run off Juan Carlos Vallejo in the 2nd, hit a three-run home run off Juan Carlos Vallejo in the 3rd, flied out in the 4th, flied out in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off Jim Unknown in the 7th, walked in the 9th and struck out in the 9th.
In 38 games Meyer is hitting .302 this season with 39 hits, 12 home runs, 35 RBIs, 34 walks, .455 OBP and has scored 37 runs.
