3 Bombs for Je-myung Yu Wednesday, August 29th, 2035 Players don't hit three home runs in a game very often and when they do, it is something to celebrate. After today, Je-myung Yu can celebrate. The Wizarding Express first baseman powered three into the stands at The Tank today against the Panama City Piranhas. "It's rare that you actually try to hit a home run," Yu told reporters after the game. "Most of the time you fail, if you really try to hit one. But today, I was really trying on that last one." In all, he was 3-for-4 as the Express toppled Panama City by a score of 8-4, knocking in 5 runs and scoring 3 times. "He is blessed with a natural home run swing," Wizarding manager Chris Lau said. "He gets the ball up in the air." Je-myung Yu hit a solo-shot off Hikaru Yamaguchi in the 1st, flied out in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Hikaru Yamaguchi in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off Awad Mahmudnizhad in the 7th and walked in the 9th. This year Yu has collected a .345 batting average to date with 116 hits in 336 at-bats, 72 RBIs, 30 home runs and scored 68 times. He has played in 88 games. |
