Lumsden Powers 3 HR Against Panama City Friday, September 23rd , 2061 Today was a special one for Les Lumsden of the Pittsburgh Kingfishers as he slammed three home runs in the 9-0 Kingfishers win over the Panama City Piranhas. "Lately, I've been uppercutting the ball too much," he said to sportswriters after the game. "I would hit it hard, but they just went sky high and stayed in the ballpark. No big long outs for me in this game. I leveled out my swing and connected on the sweet spot. I knew they were gone the minute I hit 'em." The Pittsburgh left fielder collected 3 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 5, and scored 3 runs in the contest at Pittsburgh Grounds. Les Lumsden walked in the 1st, flied out in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Juan Cruz in the 6th, hit a three-run home run off Yura Hrustalyov in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Richard Kinmont in the 8th. In 97 games this season, Lumsden has compiled a .265 batting average with 89 hits and 31 home runs. He has also scored 60 times and knocked in 68 runs. |
