Shearer Swats 3 Homers Friday, January 12th , 2057 Hitting three home runs in a game is usually something to celebrate, but there was no celebration to be found at Buenos Aires HS Grounds after the hitting barrage from Neil Shearer. The Melbourne Ports dropped the contest 9-5 to the Majuro Bruins, leaving Shearer with only a historical footnote as consolation. Neil is blessed with a natural home run swing so he gets the ball up in the air real quickly," Melbourne manager Abdullah Brown said after the loss. "It's just a shame we couldn't win the game, too. I'm sure it spoils the day a little for him." Along with putting three in the stands, Shearer went 3-for-5 with 3 RBIs and 3 runs scored. "It's rare that you actually try to hit a home run," he told reporters after the game. "Mostly you'll fail if you really try to hit one, but today I tried on the last one." Neil Shearer hit a solo-shot off Mosese Elandra in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Lapaela Naivalurua in the 5th, flied out in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Akamai Ahonui in the 9th. In his season totals Shearer has 5 home runs and a .196 batting average. |
