3-HR Day for Spikes Friday, August 25th , 2000 Anyone wearing a glove and sitting in the bleachers for today's Jackrabbits-Yankees game had a good chance at snagging a home run ball. Kokomo left fielder Charlie Spikes thrice sent eager fans scurrying to catch a souvenir, helping lead the Kokomo to a 11-5 win over Staten Island. "Hey, the three homers were great, but I'm just trying to help my ballclub," Spikes said later. "I'm not going out there thinking I need another home run." Spikes was 3-for-4 on the day with 3 runs batted in. Charlie Spikes hit a solo-shot off Mike Trombley in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Mike Trombley in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Tom Gorzelanny in the 4th, was hit by a pitch in the 6th and struck out in the 8th. Spikes is hitting .343 so far this season with 124 RBIs and 102 runs scored. He has 127 hits including 68 home runs, 24 walks and .393 OBP. |
