Sultan of Swing: Parker Goes Deep 3 Times Friday, August 17th , 2063 Sometimes it just isn't enough. Kevin Parker had an outstanding day at The drakkar for the Victoria Vikings, ripping three home runs. Nonetheless, the Vikings fell to the Kingwood Knights, 16-9. Parker had a feast at the plate, pounding everything thrown his way. The 23-year-old first baseman banged out 4 hits in 4 at-bats, scored 3 times and batted in 5 runs. Despite his sensational performance, the Vikings were not able to hold off the Knights. "Baseball is a funny game," Parker said in the post-game interview, "You can't dwell on the reasons for the loss. I'm sure there will be days when I go 0-for-4 and we win. These things tend to even out." Kevin Parker singled in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Heriberto Leon in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Heriberto Leon in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Bob Bower in the 7th, walked in the 8th and walked in the 9th. This season in 107 games, Parker is batting .331 with 30 home runs, 109 RBIs and has scored 89 times. |
