Smashing Success: Berryhill Wallops 3 HR Monday, September 8th , 1997 Whatever Damon Berryhill ate for breakfast before his game against the Minnesota Twins today, it gave him some impressive power. The Oakland catcher smacked three balls up and out of the park at Metropolitan Stadium. His home run barrage led the Athletics to take the 9-4 victory over the Twins. "When they throw it in your wheelhouse, you've got a shot at a homer," he told BNN reporters after the game. "I got three shots today and nailed them all." On his 3-homer day, he went 4-for-5, scored 4 times, drove in 6 and put on a display that history will remember. Damon Berryhill singled in the 2nd, flied out in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Gar Finnvold in the 6th, hit a two-run home run off Howard Landry in the 8th and hit a two-run home run off Esteban Loaiza in the 9th. Posting a .222 batting average to date, Berryhill has 11 home runs and 42 RBIs. |
