Smith Laces 3 HR Against Peoria Thursday, April 24th , 2042 Today was a special one for Dave Smith of the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers as he slammed three home runs in the 11-1 win over the Peoria Chiefs. "Lately, I've been uppercutting the ball too much," he said to sportswriters after the game. "I would hit it hard, but they just went sky high and stayed in the ballpark. No big long outs for me in this game. I leveled out my swing and connected on the sweet spot. I knew they were gone the minute I hit 'em." The Wisconsin right fielder collected 3 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 4, and scored 3 runs in the contest at Time Warner Cable Field at Fox Cities Stadium. Dave Smith hit a two-run home run off Anastasio Silva in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off César Matos in the 5th and hit a solo-shot off César Matos in the 7th. |
