Smashing Success: Yi Wallops 3 HR Sunday, September 6th , 2048 Fans seated in the bleacher section at Baby Thunder Dome were taking cover all day long as Won-shik Yi zeroed in on them, rattling three long blasts off the seats in a display of Herculean power. The big game from the St. Petersburg right fielder helped the Thunder take the victory, 10-7, over the Tacoma Fur Traders.

For the game, he collected 3 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 5 and scored 3 runs. Won-shik Yi hit a two-run home run off Paco Meza in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Paco Meza in the 3rd, flied out in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off Don Lucas in the 7th and walked in the 8th.
