Swing! Swang! Swung! Shippy Smashes 3 HR Tuesday, February 26th , 2064 At Capital Territory Ballpark, Wayne Shippy hit homer after homer after homer. But they didn't add up to enough to beat the Staples Staples as the U.S. Coast Guard Bears went down to defeat, 24-8. "It was a good game for me, not so good for our team," the U.S. Coast Guard catcher said. "I got lucky. I made some good swings on some pitches. We just didn't put up one in the win column." On his monumental day, he had 3 hits in 5 at-bats, drove in 4 runs, and scored 3 times. "The third one was totally unexpected," Shippy told reporters after his extraordinary game. "I just wanted to make good contact, never thinking I would get another home run and bang, I got number three." Wayne Shippy hit a solo-shot off Tom Green in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Tom Green in the 2nd, struck out in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off José Reyna in the 6th and struck out in the 8th. This year, Shippy has collected a .343 batting average to date with 59 hits in 172 at-bats, 58 RBIs, 20 home runs and scored 60 times. He has played in 40 games. |
