Bird Powers 3 HR Against Fresno State Wednesday, April 5th , 2062 The "hardest feat in sports" debate is a never-ending one with no correct answer, but hitting three home runs is certainly in the conversation. That's exactly what Johnny Bird did at Ballpark of Aptos Hills-Larkin Valley College, going deep three times and carrying his team to victory, 22-10. "It all came together. I was seeing the ball well and I got some good pitches to hit," Bird said. "Good things happen, when that happens." The Arizona State Sun Devils first baseman blistered the Fresno State Bulldogs for 3 hits, batted in 7 runs and scored 5 times. "It ain't like we weren't trying," Fresno State manager James Barnes said. "He was hot and really torched my boys today." Johnny Bird walked in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Andy Washington in the 2nd, flied out in the 4th, walked in the 6th, hit a GRAND SLAM off Eric Russell in the 6th and hit a two-run home run off Jeff Williams in the 8th. Thus far this season, Bird is hitting .387 with 11 home runs, 33 RBIs and 22 runs scored. He has 24 hits in 62 at-bats and has played in 15 games. |
