3-HR Dream Game for Johnson Wednesday, September 24th , 2064 Players don't hit three home runs in a game very often and when they do, it is something to celebrate. After today, Nick Johnson can celebrate. The Astoria Argonauts second baseman powered three into the stands at Golden Fleece Park against the Madison Muskies. "It's rare that you actually try to hit a home run," Johnson told reporters after the game. "Most of the time you fail, if you really try to hit one. But today, I was really trying on that last one." In all, he was 4-for-4 as the Argonauts toppled Madison by a score of 17-3, knocking in 7 runs and scoring 4 times. "He is blessed with a natural home run swing," Astoria manager Amin Kinsaka said. "He gets the ball up in the air." Nick Johnson hit an RBI double in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Brandon Hyde in the 2nd, hit a two-run home run off Lupe Munoz in the 4th and hit a three-run home run off Lupe Munoz in the 5th. This year, Johnson is hitting at a .344 pace with 25 home runs and 77 RBIs. He has played in 102 games and scored 73 times. |
