Erwin Bashes 3 HR for Champion City
Saturday, March 20th , 2123
Fans seated in the bleacher section at Sailors Fields were taking cover all day long as Lyle Erwin zeroed in on them, rattling three long blasts off the seats in a display of Herculean power.
The big game from the Champion City third baseman helped the Kings take the victory, 7-6, over the Huntington Beach Sailors.
"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 5 at-bats, drove in 5 and scored 4 runs.
Lyle Erwin hit a solo-shot off Peter Parker in the 2nd, hit a three-run home run off Peter Parker in the 3rd, grounded out in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Larry Wheeler in the 8th and grounded out in the 9th.
