Bagwell Blisters Ottawa Thursday, May 3rd , 2001 Jeff Bagwell put on a hitting clinic as the Houston Colt 45s dumped the Ottawa Mounties, 12-6, at Hilltop Park. The Houston first baseman made Ottawa defenders earn their pay, lashing Ottawa pitching for 5 hits in 5 at-bats in the game. He told BNN reporters after the game that his strategy was "just hit it where they pitched it." "Too often I try too hard to pull the ball," Bagwell said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch." Jeff Bagwell hit a two-run home run off Randy Johnson in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Atlee Hammaker in the 6th, hit a three-run home run off Dave Gregg in the 7th and singled in the 9th. This season, Bagwell is batting .257 with 22 RBIs, 15 runs scored and 7 home runs. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
