Jones Clobbers 3 HR Against Stars Friday, May 16th , 2081 Today was a special one for Curtis Jones of the New Orleans Rougarous as he slammed three home runs in the 9-6 Rougarous win over the Nashville Stars. "Lately, I've been uppercutting the ball too much," he said to sportswriters after the game. "I would hit it hard, but they just went sky high and stayed in the ballpark. No big long outs for me in this game. I leveled out my swing and connected on the sweet spot. I knew they were gone the minute I hit 'em." The New Orleans third baseman collected 4 hits in 5 at-bats, drove in 5, and scored 3 runs in the contest at Gibson Soundstage. Curtis Jones struck out in the 1st, hit a three-run home run off Tugg Boat in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Tugg Boat in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Liru Wolf in the 6th and singled in the 8th. This year, Jones has hit 7 home runs and posted a .286 batting average. |
