English Booms 3 Homers Sunday, August 29th , 2027 At PBC Rookie Development Complex, Derek English hit homer after homer after homer. But they didn't add up to enough to beat the Quebec City (R) Admirals as the Newark (R) Eagles went down to defeat, 22-15. "It was a good game for me, not so good for our team," the Newark (R) right fielder said. "I got lucky. I made some good swings on some pitches. We just didn't put up one in the win column." On his monumental day, he had 3 hits in 6 at-bats, drove in 6 runs, and scored 3 times. "The third one was totally unexpected," English told reporters after his extraordinary game. "I just wanted to make good contact, never thinking I would get another home run and bang, I got number three." Derek English flied out in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Mark Weber in the 3rd, hit a three-run home run off Frank Morales in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Frank Morales in the 4th, struck out in the 6th and struck out in the 9th. This year, English is batting .372 with 9 home runs and 28 RBIs. In 42 games he has scored 27 times. |
