Bell Scorches Salmon for 3 HR Wednesday, July 6th , 2039 Hitting three home runs in a game is usually something to celebrate, but there was no celebration to be found at Sullivan Brothers Stadium after the hitting barrage from Harry Bell. The Taku Winds dropped the contest 15-8 to the Ketchikan Salmon, leaving Bell with only a historical footnote as consolation. Harry is blessed with a natural home run swing so he gets the ball up in the air real quickly," Taku manager Joe Buchanan said after the loss. "It's just a shame we couldn't win the game, too. I'm sure it spoils the day a little for him." Along with putting three in the stands, Bell went 3-for-5 with 4 RBIs and 3 runs scored. "It's rare that you actually try to hit a home run," he told reporters after the game. "Mostly you'll fail if you really try to hit one, but today I tried on the last one." Harry Bell struck out in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Okura Kawai in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Okura Kawai in the 6th, flied out in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off Scott Roy in the 9th. For the year Bell is hitting .354 with 12 home runs. His stats include 20 runs batted in and 16 runs scored. |
