Thrice Is Nice: Williams Unloads 3 Homers
Wednesday, July 19th , 2051
Casey Williams was in a home run mode at Wichita Grounds. The Mexico City second baseman massacred Falcons pitching, cracking out three home runs and going 3-for-5 with 4 RBIs and scoring 3 runs. But this sensational performance didn't really matter. Wichita won the ballgame, 7-6, despite the three homers.
"I wish a big 'W' had come with this," he said. "It's great to hit three homers, but the bottom line is whether you win or lose."
Nonetheless, Williams will now have a place in the league record book.
"I guess when you're hot, you're hot," he said. "I'm not going up there trying to hit home runs. I put the good part of the bat on it and luckily three of them went out today."
Casey Williams hit a solo-shot off Ryan Keith in the 1st, flied out in the 3rd, flied out in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off Alex Flamenco in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Gene Noblitt in the 9th.
Williams is currently hitting at a .413 pace with 29 home runs and 79 RBIs.
