Gone Again! 3 HR for Collins Monday, April 25th , 2044 New York College Night Riders catcher Dave Collins had a magnificent game against the Puebla College Sluggers, rocketing three balls out of Sluggers Park to help the Night Riders win, 8-2. "I got some good pitches to hit and I creamed them," he said after the game. "The first was a big, fat fastball and the last two were hanging curves. All three were mistakes." For the game, Collins went 3-for-4 with 3 RBIs and 3 runs scored. "There's a fine line between hitting home runs and line drives," New York College manager said later. "Seems like Dave found his home run stroke today."
