Nelson Parks 3 HR in the Seats Sunday, April 16th, 2023 Bill Nelson of the Bombers brutalized San Francisco pitching, parking three home runs into the bleachers in today's 10-4 victory. The South Carolina left fielder was red-hot, the ball just exploded off his bat all day long. "I don't try to hit homers," he said. "I try to go out there and have good at-bats. If I put a good swing on the ball, then it is going to go out of the park. I didn't try to hit the first one or the second one or the third one. I just try to have good at-bats." For the game he went 4 for 4 with 5 RBIs and 4 runs scored. "Too much Bill Nelson today," Earthquakes manager said. "That's simply what the game boils down to." "Phenomenal!" said one impressed spectator. That one word says it all. Bill Nelson singled in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Vaughn Lewis in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Coco Yamashita in the 4th, walked in the 6th and hit a two-run home run off Jonathan Martin in the 8th. In 13 games Nelson is hitting .426 this season with 20 hits, 5 home runs, 10 RBIs, 12 walks, .533 OBP and has scored 14 runs. |
