Every now and then, the right things happen at the right time. Curt Sheperd discovered that when he smashed three homers at Nebraska Stadium during today's 7-2 win over the Pennsylvania Freedom.
The Nebraska right fielder said in the postgame interview, "I got three balls to hit and nailed all three of them. The first was a hanging curve, the second was right down the middle and the last one was a good pitch, but I guessed right and put the wood to it."
Sheperd finished the day with 3 hits in 3 at-bats and 3 RBIs.
C. Sheperd hit a solo-shot off J. Baker in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off J. Baker in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off J. Baker in the 6th and walked in the 7th.
Sheperd is batting .296 in 2000 with 29 home runs, 112 RBIs and 110 runs scored. He has 163 hits in 550 at-bats.
