Raptors Dawson III Hits 200th Homer Wednesday, September 7th , 2078 A big sigh of relief erupted from Peter Dawson III after he hit his 200th career homer. The Boise first baseman said, "I'm glad it's over...now I can go back to just playing baseball." It was quite a day for Dawson III. He got his name in the league record books with 2 hits, 4 runs batted in, scored 2 runs and his team, the Boise Raptors beat the New York Voyagers 7-3. Dawson III knew it when he hit it. He raised his hands in the air, then ran the bases like a high school player, clapping and grinning. He told reporters in the postgame interview, "I was acting goofy running the bases... but it was my 200th home run." "It was great," his manager said. "He stood there and watched it...we all did. You just felt it was coming...you just had a sense he would hit it soon. He has been having a lot of good at-bats. It was great to get it out of the way." Lifetime Dawson III is hitting .264 and has totaled 200 home runs. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
