Clark Goes Yard 3 Times Saturday, June 22nd , 2052 His swing was a thing of beauty. Three times Chad Clark swung the bat and three times he delivered a home run. It was an awesome sight to behold at The Stage in Memphis, but to no avail, for as good as he was, the Ballard Beavers were better. The Memphis Music couldn't capitalize on the big game from Clark and dropped the contest 11-5. The mood in the Music clubhouse afterward was subdued, with several players remarking that they had allowed the Beavers to spoil the day for Clark. "Some of the boys are beating themselves up about it," Memphis manager Tom Christensen said. "They know we win as a team and lose as a team, but it's hard to really put that idea into practice on a day when one of you was playing on such an obviously higher level." In addition to the homers, Clark collected 4 RBIs and scored 3 runs. "I got three pitches down the pipe and popped them," the Memphis catcher told reporters. "Today I was in a groove. Tomorrow I could just pop the same pitches up and go 0-for-3." Chad Clark grounded out in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Elliott Boyd in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Elliott Boyd in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Kevin Rose in the 7th and flied out in the 9th. This season in 39 games Clark is batting .319 with 14 home runs, 28 RBIs and has scored 25 times. |
