Compton Goes Yard 3 Times Friday, August 23rd , 2019 In a powerful performance that left the fans at Hollywood Grounds buzzing, Halifax Heathens third baseman Austin Compton blasted a trio of home runs en route to a 6-1 win over the Hollywood Stars. "Everything was clicking," Compton told the press. "My timing was good and I got pitches I could handle and I didn't miss them." Compton shined brilliantly in the win, with 4 hits in 5 at-bats, 5 RBIs and 4 runs scored. "It's not just one guy, it's everybody," Heathens manager David Morris said. "Austin played great but it takes more than one guy to win a game." Austin Compton struck out in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Jadon Bernard in the 4th, doubled in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off Kevin Delaney in the 7th and hit a three-run home run off Kevin Delaney in the 9th.
