Big 3-HR Day for Leason Sunday, August 13th , 2023 The old superstition that "bad news comes in threes" certainly came true for the Franklin Cubs. Long Island shortstop Earl Leason tripled up on the home runs to propel the Torpedoes to a win, 8-7, at Centerville Grounds. "We had our chances to win the game, but we just didn't come through," Franklin manager Kerry McElree said. "Leason hit the heck out of the ball." In addition to the homers, Leason collected 3 hits in 4 at-bats, 5 RBIs and scored 3 runs. "Easy swings get you home runs," he said after the game. "I kept telling myself not to press. They have to be nice and easy swings." Earl Leason hit a three-run home run off Dan Logan in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Dan Logan in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Jimmy Lyles in the 8th. This season in 115 games, Leason is batting .285 with 23 home runs, 62 RBIs and has scored 50 times. |
