Woodroffe Goes Yard 3 Times
Monday, September 7th , 2048
Gary Woodroffe went on a hitting rampage at Joplin Baseball Complex today and got membership in the select club of hitters who have hit three home runs in a game. He walloped three into the stands to pace the Blasters to a 7-6 victory over the Kelowna Heat.
The Joplin third baseman collected 3 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 5 and scored 3 runs.
"I don't know, you never know when things are going to fall into place," he told the press after his big game. "Today, I didn't have any special insight or adjustment, I just happened to get three pitches I was ready for."
Gary Woodroffe grounded out in the 1st, walked in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Jerry Schlaak in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off Jerry Schlaak in the 8th and hit a two-run home run off Jerry Schlaak in the 9th.
Woodroffe is hitting at a .243 mark this season. His stats show 21 home runs, 49 RBIs and 51 runs scored. He has played 92 games for the Blasters.
