 | Sultan of Swing: Weirich Goes Deep 3 Times Friday, July 12th , 2041 Hudson Valley Hornets bombardier Johnny Weirich set his sights on the stands and blasted three balls over the fence as his club beat the Albanel Millers, 8-6. "I guess you could say I was a good guesser today, especially on the last one," Weirich told writers in the postgame press room. "I was ahead in the count, so I gambled that I'd get a certain pitch, and got all of it." For the game, the Hudson Valley shortstop had 3 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 4, and scored 3 runs. Johnny Weirich hit a solo-shot off Ryan Yakubov in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Ryan Yakubov in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Tomas Martinez in the 6th and flied out in the 7th. Thus far in 2041, Weirich is hitting .196 with 4 home runs, 8 RBIs, 7 runs scored and has compiled a .327 OBP. |   |
