3-Homer Hat Trick for Kirkham Tuesday, September 12th , 2023 Boston Whistlers left fielder Willie Kirkham had a magnificent game against the Indianapolis Eagles, rocketing three balls out of Eagles Stadium to help the Whistlers win, 5-4. "I got some good pitches to hit and I creamed them," he said after the game. "The first was a big, fat fastball and the last two were hanging curves. All three were mistakes." For the game, Kirkham went 3-for-4 with 4 RBIs and 3 runs scored. "There's a fine line between hitting home runs and line drives," Boston manager Mike Plocher said later. "Seems like Willie found his home run stroke today."
