Thrice Is Nice: Cooper Unloads 3 Homers Monday, September 4th , 2023 At Franklin Park, Ricky Cooper hit homer after homer after homer. But they didn't add up to enough to beat the Franklin Cubs as the Whitby Bats went down to defeat, 12-6. "It was a good game for me, not so good for our team," the Whitby second baseman said. "I got lucky. I made some good swings on some pitches. We just didn't put up one in the win column." On his monumental day, he had 3 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 3 runs, and scored 3 times. "The third one was totally unexpected," Cooper told reporters after his extraordinary game. "I just wanted to make good contact, never thinking I would get another home run and bang, I got number three." Ricky Cooper struck out in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Dan Logan in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Dan Logan in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Jimmy Lyles in the 8th. This season, Cooper has 19 home runs and a .238 batting average. |
