Baxa Rockets 3 HR Against Ottawa Wednesday, August 22nd , 2007 T.J. Baxa must believe in the Big Bang theory. He proved it by banging three deep against the Ottawa Capitals. The hard-hitting Green Bay Braves right fielder added a lot of firepower and excitement to the 7-0 Braves win, leaving fans and the opposing dugout buzzing about his standout performance. "He looked real good today," Ottawa manager Mike House said later. "I think the guys were awful impressed by him. Frustrated, but impressed." For the game, Baxa had 4 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 3, and scored 3 runs. The 37-year-old is known in league circles as a tireless worker, and told reporters he has recently been putting in extra time fine-tuning his swing, "to keep it short, compact and simple." "Looks like it worked today," he said. T.J. Baxa hit a solo-shot off Pedro Hernandez in the 1st, walked in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Pedro Hernandez in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Mario Cota in the 6th and singled in the 8th.
