Monster 3-HR Day for Morgan
Sunday, July 19th , 2026
Laredo Ghosts second baseman Justin Morgan sensed he was going to have a good day at the plate, but he still might have underestimated it a little.
Prior to the start of today's contest with the Montreal Canadiens, Morgan told teammates he was sure he would hit a home run. He did -- three times.
"During batting practice I really had my swing down pat," he recalled. "I felt some thunder in the lumber."
The big day from Morgan pushed the Ghosts past the Canadiens, 7-4. To go along with the homers, he collected 6 RBIs and scored 3 runs.
"I was seeing good, feeling good and swinging good," Morgan told reporters after the game.
Justin Morgan hit a two-run home run off Chris Wyzard in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Chris Wyzard in the 3rd, flied out in the 5th and hit a two-run home run off Jerry Cirulli in the 7th.
This year, Morgan has hit at a .253 clip with 59 hits, 9 home runs, 27 RBIs and 28 runs scored.
