McCarthy Booms 3 out of the Park Thursday, July 18th , 2069 Edmonton Trappers bombardier Bobby McCarthy set his sights on the stands and blasted three balls over the fence as his club took a 19-3 win over the Campeche Pirates today. "I guess you could say I was a good guesser today, especially on the last one," McCarthy told writers in the postgame press room. "I was ahead in the count, so I gambled that I'd get a certain pitch, and got all of it." For the game, the Edmonton right fielder had 4 hits in 5 at-bats, drove in 8, and scored 4 runs. Bobby McCarthy walked in the 1st, hit a two-run single in the 2nd, struck out in the 4th, hit a three-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Jim Unknown in the 8th. McCarthy is batting at a .286 pace this season, picking up 93 hits in 325 at-bats with 20 home runs, 50 RBIs and 52 runs scored. |
