Kirby Goes Yard 3 Times Thursday, August 27th , 2020 Poplar Bluff first baseman J.J. Kirby blasted three homers today at Owls Ballpark in the 10-2 Hillbillies victory over the Lake Elsinore Storm. For the game, J.J. Kirby scored 4 times and knocked in 7 runs. When he hit his last home run, his teammates, hearing the crack of the bat, leaped off the bench and rushed on the field to greet the jubilant Kirby when he reached home plate. "It was just one game, but it sure was a lot of fun -- 4-for-4, three roundtrippers and a win," a gleeful Kirby told BNN reporters in a postgame interview. "What a day." J.J. Kirby hit a solo-shot off Danny Poole in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Jim Unknown in the 5th and hit a GRAND SLAM off Jim Unknown in the 6th. Kirby is presently hitting at a .314 pace with 11 home runs, 39 RBIs and has scored 32 times. |
