Swing! Swang! Swung! Conerly Smashes 3 HR Friday, July 2nd , 2032 Fans seated in the bleacher section at Oriole Park at Camden Yards were taking cover all day long as Geoff Conerly zeroed in on them, rattling three long blasts off the seats in a display of Herculean power. The big game from the Baltimore right fielder helped the Orioles take the victory, 8-3, over the Los Angeles Angels. "I told myself not to press on the last one," he told reporters in the postgame press conference. "I knew I couldn't force it -- it has to be a nice easy swing." For the game, he collected 3 hits in 3 at-bats, drove in 5 and scored 3 runs. Geoff Conerly hit a solo-shot off Edwin Nunez in the 2nd, hit a two-run home run off Edwin Nunez in the 3rd, walked in the 5th and hit a two-run home run off Humberto Sandoval in the 7th. In 81 games this season Conerly has compiled a .250 batting average with 79 hits and 20 home runs. He has also scored 49 times and knocked in 59 runs. |
