 | Shannon Crushes 3 Homers Against Long Island Monday, April 28th , 2042 Anyone wearing a glove and sitting in the bleachers for today's Golden Hawks-River Otters game had a good chance at snagging a home run ball. Baltimore first baseman Blake Shannon thrice sent eager fans scurrying to catch a souvenir, helping lead the Baltimore to a win, 12-8, over Long Island. "Hey, the three homers were great, but I'm just trying to help my ballclub," Shannon said later. "I'm not going out there thinking I need another home run."
