Blanchard Rips 3 HR Friday, July 20th , 2063 Medicine Hat left fielder Thomas Blanchard blasted three homers at Hieb Field in the 7-4 Flaming Nukes victory over the Jamestown Comets. For the game, Thomas Blanchard scored 3 times and knocked in 6 runs. When he hit his last home run, his teammates, hearing the crack of the bat, leaped off the bench and rushed on the field to greet the jubilant Blanchard when he reached home plate. "It was just one game, but it sure was a lot of fun -- 4-for-5, three roundtrippers and a win," a gleeful Blanchard told BNN reporters in a postgame interview. "What a day." Thomas Blanchard flied out in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Sergio Valdés in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Timothy Lockwood in the 7th and hit a GRAND SLAM off Raúl Fierro in the 8th. This season, Blanchard is batting .254 with 10 home runs. He has scored 25 runs and driven in 20. |
