Murrell Launches 3 HR for Jet Hawks Sunday, September 20th , 2020 Larry Murrell brutalized the Huntsville Rockets pitching staff, launching three home runs in today's 8-1 victory at Jet Hawks Ballpark. The Grand Rapids Jet Hawks right fielder was red-hot, the ball just exploding off his bat all day. "I don't try to hit homers," he said later. "I try to go out there and put a good swing on the ball, and sometimes it is going to go out of the park. I didn't try to hit the first one or the second one or the third one." For the game, he went 3-for-4 with 4 RBIs and 3 runs scored. "Too much Larry Murrell today," Rockets manager Tim Hodgson said. "That's my assessment of the game. That's what our problems boiled down to." Larry Murrell struck out in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Brett Emma in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Tyler Doss in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Nate Ray in the 8th. For the season, Murrell is hitting at a .249 clip with 23 home runs, 58 RBIs and has scored 43 runs. He has 72 hits, 32 walks and a .321 on-base percentage. |
