 | Big Bang! 3 HR for Newark's MacDonald Sunday, April 15th, 2012: At Parliament Field Fletcher MacDonald of the Newark Jail Birds wreaked havoc on Ottawa pitching, beating them 14-12 and leaving them in ruins after a prodigious three-home run performance. It was clear he was in a groove early on and as blast after blast cleared the fences. Fans knew they were witnessing a feat they wouldn't soon forget. After his monumental game MacDonald told reporters at the press conference, "The last one was totally unexpected. I just wanted to make good contact, never thinking I would get a home run -- and BANG! -- I got #3." For the game the Newark center fielder had 3 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 6 and scored 4 runs. Fletcher MacDonald walked in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, hit a three-run home run off Bo Pownall in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Keith Wright in the 6th and hit a two-run home run off Jorge Ayala in the 8th. In this current campaign MacDonald is hitting at a .302 clip with 4 home runs and 12 RBIs. |   |
