Yasuda on Fire: Burns Imabari with 3 HR Tuesday, May 11th , 1954 The "hardest feat in sports" debate is a never-ending one with no correct answer, but hitting three home runs is certainly in the conversation. That's exactly what Mineki Yasuda did at Team Park, going deep three times and carrying his team to victory, 14-2. "It all came together. I was seeing the ball well and I got some good pitches to hit," Yasuda said. "Good things happen, when that happens." The Matsuyama Farmers left fielder blistered the Imabari Ginners for 4 hits, batted in 8 runs and scored 3 times. "It ain't like we weren't trying," Imabari manager said. "He was hot and really torched my boys today." Mineki Yasuda singled in the 1st, hit a three-run home run off Jim Thomassen in the 3rd, hit a GRAND SLAM off Jim Thomassen in the 4th, grounded out in the 6th, flied out in the 8th and hit a solo-shot off Todd Spahn in the 9th. This season, Yasuda has 5 home runs and a .345 batting average. |
