3 Roundtrippers for Hara Thursday, July 8th, 2027 Bombs away! Champaign bombardier Ken Hara set his sights on the stands and blasted three balls over the fence in a 8-7 win over the El Paso Diablos. It was a powerful performance that should keep the fans at Orange Field buzzing for days. He spoke to the writers in the postgame press room and said, "I guess you could say I was a good guesser today, especially on the last one. I was ahead in the count, so I got set for a certain pitch, and got it ... all of it." For the game the Champaign right fielder had 3 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 4, and scored 3 runs. Ken Hara hit a solo-shot off Melvyn Maisonneuve in the 2nd, flied out in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Melvyn Maisonneuve in the 5th and hit a solo-shot off Ralph Whitehead in the 8th.
