Cheatham Pounds 3 HR Tuesday, July 9th , 2019 Whatever Gene Cheatham ate for breakfast before his game against the Abingdon Archers today, it gave him some impressive power. The Long Island catcher smacked three balls up and out of the park at Reagor Dykes Stadium. His home run barrage led the Torpedoes to take the 21-8 victory over the Archers. "When they throw it in your wheelhouse, you've got a shot at a homer," he told BNN reporters after the game. "I got three shots today and nailed them all." On his 3-homer day, he went 4-for-6, scored 4 times, drove in 6 and put on a display that history will remember. Gene Cheatham singled in the 2nd, hit a three-run home run off Frank Archuleta in the 3rd, grounded out in the 4th, walked in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off Jim Unknown in the 8th, hit a two-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 9th and flied out in the 9th. So far this year Cheatham is batting .222 with 5 home runs. |
