 | Ferch Cracks 3 HR for Blue Claws Thursday, April 20th , 2045 At Blue Claws Grounds, Butch Ferch hit homer after homer after homer. But they didn't add up to enough to beat the Port-au-Prince College Arsenal as the Oklahoma City College Blue Claws went down to defeat, 11-10. "It was a good game for me, not so good for our team," the Oklahoma City College catcher said. "I got lucky. I made some good swings on some pitches. We just didn't put up one in the win column." On his monumental day, he had 3 hits in 5 at-bats, drove in 6 runs, and scored 3 times. "The third one was totally unexpected," Ferch told reporters after his extraordinary game. "I just wanted to make good contact, never thinking I would get another home run and bang, I got number three." Butch Ferch hit a two-run home run off Robert Béllanger in the 1st, struck out in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Pierre Delage in the 5th, hit a three-run home run off Pierre Delage in the 7th and grounded out in the 9th. For the season, Ferch has hit .346 with 17 home runs and 39 RBIs. He has played in 38 games and scored 37 times. |   |
