Shelton Hits 3 Homers Thursday, July 5th , 2029 Fans seated in the bleacher section at LoanMart Field were taking cover all day long as Easton Shelton zeroed in on them, rattling three long blasts off the seats in a display of Herculean power.

Newton in the 2nd, hit a two-run home run off Trey Beard in the 2nd, walked in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Yordin Chalas in the 6th and struck out in the 7th.
