Blast Off! 3 HR for Duffy Wednesday, June 27th , 2001 Hugh Duffy brutalized the Boston Pilgrims pitching staff, launching three home runs in the 10-1 St. Paul victory at Huntington Avenue Grounds. The St. Paul Black Gophers right fielder was red-hot, the ball just exploding off his bat all day. "I don't try to hit homers," he said later. "I try to go out there and put a good swing on the ball, and sometimes it is going to go out of the park. I didn't try to hit the first one or the second one or the third one." For the game, he went 3-for-4 with 3 RBIs and 3 runs scored. "Too much Hugh Duffy today," Pilgrims manager Tom Fontana said. "That's my assessment of the game. That's what our problems boiled down to." Hugh Duffy hit a solo-shot off Willie Banks in the 1st, flied out in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Willie Banks in the 5th and hit a solo-shot off Randall Delgado in the 7th. Duffy is currently batting .269 with 14 home runs and 33 RBIs. |
