Kohei Matsumoto Rockets 3 Home Runs Thursday, August 22nd, 2024 Going... Going... Gone! Kohei Matsumoto did it three times in the Brisbane 7-6 victory over the Austin Hipsters. Three home runs in one game! "I was in a groove," he said, "and every pitch they tossed up there looked like a grapefruit." Commenting after the game to the press, the elated Matsumoto explained, "I tell you what, I was so shocked because I didn't think the last ball had enough to get out. I thought it was just going to be a long out." For the day the Brisbane first baseman went 4-for-4 against Austin with 4 RBIs and 3 runs scored in a brilliant display of power hitting. Kohei Matsumoto hit a two-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Jim Unknown in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off Jim Unknown in the 8th and walked in the 9th.
