Thrice Is Nice: Emmert Unloads 3 Homers Sunday, May 5th , 2052 Winston-Salem Dash third baseman Evan Emmert sensed he was going to have a good day at the plate, but he still might have underestimated it a little. Prior to the start of today's contest with the Frederick Keys, Emmert told teammates he was sure he would hit a home run. He did -- three times. "During batting practice I really had my swing down pat," he recalled. "I felt some thunder in the lumber." The big day from Emmert pushed the Dash past the Keys, 6-5. To go along with the homers, he collected 6 RBIs and scored 3 runs. "I was seeing good, feeling good and swinging good," Emmert told reporters after the game. Evan Emmert grounded out in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off B.J. Swain in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off B.J. Swain in the 7th and hit a three-run home run off Jack Erickson in the 8th. This season Emmert is batting at a .307 clip with 4 home runs and 11 RBIs. |
