Bang-up Game: Evans Slams 3 Homers Friday, August 31st , 2001 New Orleans right fielder Dwight Evans blasted three homers at Washington Park in the 10-0 Pelicans victory over the Newark Eagles. For the game, Dwight Evans scored 3 times and knocked in 4 runs. When he hit his last home run, his teammates, hearing the crack of the bat, leaped off the bench and rushed on the field to greet the jubilant Evans when he reached home plate. "It was just one game, but it sure was a lot of fun -- 3-for-5, three roundtrippers and a win," a gleeful Evans told BNN reporters in a postgame interview. "What a day." Dwight Evans hit a solo-shot off Danny Coombs in the 1st, struck out in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Danny Coombs in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off Hisanori Takahashi in the 6th and struck out in the 9th. To date this year, Evans is batting .251 with 34 home runs. |
