Big 3-HR Day for Tate Tuesday, May 15th , 2063 Hitting three home runs in a game is usually something to celebrate, but there was no celebration to be found at Pittsburgh Grounds after the hitting barrage from Kelsey Tate. The Pittsburgh Kingfishers dropped the contest, 13-9, to the Panama City Piranhas, leaving Tate with only a historical footnote as consolation. Kelsey is blessed with a natural home run swing so he gets the ball up in the air real quickly," Pittsburgh manager Tyler Johnson 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, Tate went 4-for-6 with 5 RBIs and 4 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." Kelsey Tate hit a solo-shot off Carlos Heath in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, struck out in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Carlos Heath in the 6th, flied out in the 7th and hit a three-run home run off Timothy Dean in the 9th. This year, Tate is batting .222 with 10 hits and no home runs. He has scored 2 times and has batted in 3 runs. |
