| King Connects for 3 Homers for Avengers Monday, April 8th , 2041 It was a good day for the El Paso College Avengers and an exceptional one for Tim King. The 20-year-old shortstop sent three bombs out of the park to help the Avengers beat the Toronto College Rangers, 11-3, at Avengers Park.
"When you're in the zone, the game really slows down," King said when asked about his performance later. "I couldn't even tell you what pitches were thrown. Today feels great, but it is a long season and tomorrow is another day."
For the day, he scored 3 times, drove in 7 runs and smacked 3 hits in 5 at-bats.
Tim King hit a solo-shot off Mark Acorn in the 1st, hit a three-run home run off Mark Acorn in the 3rd, hit a three-run home run off Bob Haynes in the 4th, grounded out in the 6th and flied out in the 8th.
This year, King has hit 11 home runs and posted a .336 batting average. | | |
