Baker Blasts 3 out of the Park Wednesday, May 26th, 2055 Today was a special one for Justin Baker of the Vermont Emperor Penguins as he slammed three home runs in the 11-0 win over the Keg Creek Coyotes. "Lately, I've been uppercutting the ball too much," he said to sportswriters after the game. "I would hit it hard, but they just went sky high and stayed in the ballpark. No big long outs for me in this game. I leveled out my swing and connected on the sweet spot. I knew they were gone the minute I hit 'em." The Vermont center fielder collected 3 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 4, and scored 3 runs in the contest at Penguin Field. Justin Baker hit a solo-shot off Pedro Arévalo in the 1st, grounded out in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Pedro Arévalo in the 4th and hit a two-run home run off Andrew Cox in the 6th. So far this season Baker has gotten 48 hits in 182 at-bats for a .264 batting average with 16 home runs. His stats include 38 RBIs and 32 runs scored. He has played in 49 games. |
