Bushey Powers 3 HR Against Hot Springs Wednesday, July 31st , 2058 The old superstition that "bad news comes in threes" certainly came true for the Hot Springs Gators today.

In addition to the homers, Bushey collected 3 hits in 5 at-bats, 3 RBIs and scored 3 runs. "Easy swings get you home runs," he said after the game. "I kept telling myself not to press. They have to be nice and easy swings."
