3-HR Dream Game for Bailey Sunday, June 17th , 2001 Today was a special one for Ed Bailey of the Detroit Wolverines as he slammed three home runs in the 6-3 Wolverines win over the Miami Cuban Giants. "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 Detroit catcher collected 3 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 4, and scored 3 runs in the contest at Tiger Stadium. Ed Bailey hit a two-run home run off José Méndez in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off José Méndez in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Adonis Terry in the 8th. This year, Bailey is batting .280 with 13 home runs. |
