3 Roundtrippers for McLemore
Thursday, May 5th , 1977
Kansas City Bulls left fielder Haskell McLemore had a magnificent game against the Pittsburgh Industrials, rocketing three balls out of Allegheny Field to help the Bulls win, 14-7.
"I got some good pitches to hit and I creamed them," he said after the game. "The first was a big, fat fastball and the last two were hanging curves. All three were mistakes."
For the game, McLemore went 4-for-5 with 4 RBIs and 4 runs scored.
"There's a fine line between hitting home runs and line drives," Kansas City manager DD Martin said later. "Seems like Haskell found his home run stroke today."
Haskell McLemore hit a solo-shot off Dennis Visco in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Dennis Visco in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Dennis Visco in the 4th, walked in the 6th, singled in the 8th and flied out in the 9th.
Looking at his stats this year, McLemore has compiled a .233 batting average, while hitting 8 home runs and driving in 14 runs. He has played in 27 games and scored 23 runs.
