Hat Trick of Home Runs for Baker Saturday, May 7th , 2022 The "hardest feat in sports" debate is a never-ending one with no correct answer, but hitting three home runs is certainly in the conversation. That's exactly what Omari Baker did at Owls Ballpark, going deep three times and carrying his team to victory, 8-3. "It all came together. I was seeing the ball well and I got some good pitches to hit," Baker said. "Good things happen, when that happens." The Columbus Bowsers left fielder blistered the Poplar Bluff Hillbillies for 3 hits, batted in 4 runs and scored 3 times. "It ain't like we weren't trying," Poplar Bluff manager Adrian Mercado said. "He was hot and really torched my boys today." Omari Baker walked in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Jim Unknown in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Jim Unknown in the 7th and flied out in the 9th. This year, Baker is hitting at a .286 pace with 12 home runs and 26 RBIs. He has played in 27 games and scored 21 times. |
