Smith Bombs 3 HR Against Missouri Monday, June 17th , 2058 The "hardest feat in sports" debate is a never-ending one with no correct answer, but hitting three home runs is certainly in the conversation. That's exactly what Chris Smith did today at Ballpark of Missouri, going deep three times and carrying his team to victory, 7-0. "It all came together. I was seeing the ball well and I got some good pitches to hit," Smith said. "Good things happen, when that happens." The Tennessee Rascals left fielder blistered the Missouri Mules for 4 hits, batted in 6 runs and scored 3 times. "It ain't like we weren't trying," Missouri manager said. "He was hot and really torched my boys today." Chris Smith hit a two-run home run off Jesús Bernal in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Jesús Bernal in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, grounded out in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off Kyle Lynch in the 9th. This season Smith is swinging the bat at a .438 rate with 7 hits in 16 at-bats. To date he has hit 3 home runs, scored 4 runs and driven in 9. |
