Big Bang! 3 HR for Oakland's Donovan Thursday, May 18th , 2023 Fans seated in the bleacher section at Howard Terminal were taking cover all day long as T.J. Donovan zeroed in on them, rattling three long blasts off the seats in a display of Herculean power. The big game from the Oakland third baseman helped the Invaders take the victory, 13-6, over the Fountain Hills 23ers. "I told myself not to press on the last one," he told reporters in the postgame press conference. "I knew I couldn't force it -- it has to be a nice easy swing." For the game, he collected 4 hits in 5 at-bats, drove in 5 and scored 3 runs. T.J. Donovan hit a two-run home run off Jeremy Gray in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Jeremy Gray in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Tyler Hildebrand in the 5th, grounded out in the 5th and singled in the 7th. This season, Donovan has hit 5 home runs and posted a .250 batting average. |
