Cairns Cracks 3 HRs for Santo Domingo Friday, July 29th , 2039 Fans seated in the bleacher section at The Pit of Kaon were taking cover all day long as Howard Cairns zeroed in on them, rattling three long blasts off the seats in a display of Herculean power. The big game from the Santo Domingo second baseman helped the Decepticons take the victory, 6-4, over the Bridgetown Flying Fish. "I told myself not to press on the last one," he told reporters in the postgame press conference. "I knew I couldn't force it -- it has to be a nice easy swing." For the game, he collected 3 hits in 3 at-bats, drove in 5 and scored 3 runs. Howard Cairns was hit by a pitch in the 2nd, hit a two-run home run off Kevin Boyle in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Iván Martínez in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Pat Clark in the 8th. This season Cairns has 13 home runs and a .315 batting average. |
