Eric Dixon Strokes 3 Home Runs Tuesday, August 13th , 2047 Fans seated in the bleacher section at Kyiv Grounds were taking cover all day long as Eric Dixon zeroed in on them, rattling three long blasts off the seats in a display of Herculean power. The big game from the Dublin left fielder helped the Porters take the victory, 9-4, over the Kyiv Cossacks. "I told myself not to press on the last one," he told reporters in the postgame press conference. "I knew I couldn't force it -- it has to be a nice easy swing." For the game, he collected 3 hits in 5 at-bats, drove in 3 and scored 3 runs. Eric Dixon flied out in the 1st, struck out in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Justin Madsen in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off Aaron Cheatham in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Evan King in the 9th. In 109 games this season, Dixon is batting .219 with 89 hits and 32 home runs. He has scored 77 runs and driven in 82. |
