Yan Swats 3 HR Against Warsaw Thursday, January 2nd , 2053 Yu-bao Yan must believe in the Big Bang theory. He proved it today by banging three deep against the Warsaw Wyverns. The hard-hitting Taipei Black Bears third baseman added a lot of firepower and excitement to the 15-2 Black Bears win, leaving fans and the opposing dugout buzzing about his standout performance. "He looked real good today," Warsaw manager Jesús Barnes said later. "I think the guys were awful impressed by him. Frustrated, but impressed." For the game, Yan had 3 hits in 5 at-bats, drove in 7, and scored 3 runs. The 20-year-old is known in league circles as a tireless worker, and told reporters he has recently been putting in extra time fine-tuning his swing, "to keep it short, compact and simple." "Looks like it worked today," he said. Yu-bao Yan hit a three-run home run off Nassir Paki in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, hit a three-run home run off Min-chin Ch'oe in the 4th, struck out in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Robbie Lewis in the 8th. |
