3 Bombs for Ed Harris Friday, August 12th , 2061 Flint Crush third baseman Ed Harris almost did it all. He sent three shots out of the ballpark, scored 3 times and drove in 3 runs and had 3 hits in 4 at-bats. The one thing he could not do, however, was lead the Crush to victory. The Plattsburgh Puffer Fish escaped with the win, 4-3, despite being on the receiving end of the barrage from Harris. "I'd be lying if I said I didn't like hitting three homers, but losing takes a little glitter off the game," he admitted to BNN writers after the game. Ed Harris hit a solo-shot off Vern Peña in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Vern Peña in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Vern Peña in the 6th and struck out in the 8th. "When someone hits three home runs, you put yourself in a tough position to win," said Flint manager Michael Woodard. "We were lucky to win this one. I don't think it matters how hard you throw, especially in the USSL Low A. If you leave a ball out over the plate to good USSL Low A hitters, if they get a bead on you and you leave it over the middle, they're probably going to take a good hack at it." Harris is swinging at a .271 pace on the year with 8 home runs, 18 RBIs and 26 runs scored. He has played in 54 games. |
