3-Homer Hat Trick for Parker Saturday, April 26th , 2053 Players don't hit three home runs in a game very often and when they do, it is something to celebrate. After today, Thomas Parker can celebrate. The South Fork Frogs right fielder powered three into the stands at The Pig Pen today against the Macon Bacon. "It's rare that you actually try to hit a home run," Parker told reporters after the game. "Most of the time you fail, if you really try to hit one. But today, I was really trying on that last one." In all, he was 3-for-5 as the Frogs toppled Macon by a score of 8-7, knocking in 3 runs and scoring 3 times. "He is blessed with a natural home run swing," South Fork manager Tom Rutherford said. "He gets the ball up in the air." Thomas Parker hit a solo-shot off Manuel RodrÃguez in the 7th, hit a solo-shot off Bruce Spracklin in the 9th, hit a solo-shot off Harrison Tate in the 11th, struck out in the 12th and struck out in the 14th. For the year Parker is batting .320 with 8 hits and 4 home runs. He has scored 8 times and driven in 7. |
