Howell Scorches Magicians for 3 HR Monday, August 14th , 2000 Whatever Roy Howell ate for breakfast before his game against the Roanoke Magicians today, it gave him some impressive power. The Armstrong's third baseman smacked three balls up and out of the park at The Jazz Palace. His home run barrage led the Secret Nine to take the 19-2 victory over the Magicians. "When they throw it in your wheelhouse, you've got a shot at a homer," he told BNN reporters after the game. "I got three shots today and nailed them all." On his 3-homer day, he went 3-for-6, scored 3 times, drove in 6 and put on a display that history will remember. Roy Howell hit a two-run home run off Jack Armstrong in the 1st, flied out in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Jack Armstrong in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off Sterling Hitchcock in the 5th, struck out in the 6th and flied out in the 8th. Looking at his season stats, Howell has compiled a .321 batting average and a .368 on-base percentage, while hitting 41 home runs and driving in 74 runs. |
