 | Lambert on Fire: Burns Venice with 3 HR Tuesday, December 1st, 2043 Jim Lambert brutalized the Venice Crawdads pitching staff, launching three home runs in today's 10-2 victory at Sluggers Ballpark. The Vero Beach Mad Popes left fielder was red-hot, the ball just exploding off his bat all day. "I don't try to hit homers," he said later. "I try to go out there and put a good swing on the ball, and sometimes it is going to go out of the park. I didn't try to hit the first one or the second one or the third one." For the game, he went 3-for-4 with 6 RBIs and 3 runs scored. "Too much Jim Lambert today," Crawdads manager said. "That's my assessment of the game. That's what our problems boiled down to." Jim Lambert hit a solo-shot off Rex Strong in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Rex Strong in the 2nd, walked in the 3rd, struck out in the 5th and hit a three-run home run off Bill Redelius in the 7th. Looking at his present stats, Lambert has compiled a .245 batting average in 25 games with a .336 on-base percentage, while hitting 3 home runs and driving in 14 runs. |   |
