Veteran Cherry Hits Three Dingers
Tuesday, July 27th, 2060
Ron Cherry added his name in the record books after an explosive home run spree against the Minneapolis Maulers. But despite joining the select list of sluggers to hit three home runs in a game, it didn't guarantee a victory. The Keg Creek Coyotes fell to the Maulers, 9-7.

In his big day at Coyote Den Stadium, the Keg Creek shortstop went 3-for-3 with 4 RBIs and scored 3 times.

"It was just one of those days," he told BNN sportswriters in the postgame interview. "I don't know how to explain it. I'm just putting a good swing on the ball. "You would think three homers would win most games. It was good to hit 'em, but a win would have really made my day."

Ron Cherry hit a solo-shot off Tomás Torres in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Tomás Torres in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Tomás Torres in the 5th and walked in the 7th.

Cherry has a .283 average and a .355 on-base percentage for the year. He has picked up 106 hits, 25 home runs and driven in 78 runs.
