Ronnebaum Cracks 3 HRs for Chicago Saturday, April 10th , 1976 Ernie Ronnebaum was sending souvenirs to the sun gods all game long in the 9-4 Chicago Hawks triumph at Hyde Park Stadium. The 31-year-old put on a show for fans, launching not one, not two, but three home runs into the stands and powering the Hawks past the Twin Cities Northmen. "One homer's good, two's great, three's out of sight," Ronnebaum told BNN reporters after the game. "I can't wait until next game. I really feel good at the plate." The left fielder went 3-for-4, rung up 5 RBIs and scored 3 runs on his record-setting day. Ernie Ronnebaum hit a two-run home run off Gary Forgette in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Gary Forgette in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Gary Forgette in the 4th and flied out in the 7th. So far this season, Ronnebaum has recorded a .312 batting average with 5 hits, 3 home runs, 5 RBIs, 4 runs scored and a .476 OBP. |
