Murphy Clobbers 3 HR Against Express Saturday, August 19th , 2073 At Herschel Greer Stadium today, Garrett Murphy hit homer after homer after homer. But they didn't add up to enough to beat the Round Rock Express as the Nashville Sounds went down to defeat, 7-6. "It was a good game for me, not so good for our team," the Nashville first baseman said. "I got lucky. I made some good swings on some pitches. We just didn't put up one in the win column." On his monumental day, he had 4 hits in 7 at-bats, drove in 5 runs, and scored 3 times. "The third one was totally unexpected," Murphy told reporters after his extraordinary game. "I just wanted to make good contact, never thinking I would get another home run and bang, I got number three." Garrett Murphy singled in the 1st, hit a three-run home run off Danny Gil in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Danny Gil in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Jason Rosa in the 7th, grounded out in the 9th, struck out in the 11th and flied out in the 13th. Looking at his season stats, Murphy has compiled a .323 batting average and a .396 on-base percentage, while hitting 19 home runs and driving in 82 runs. |
