<a href=p996.html>Babe Ruth </a> slams 3 HR
 
MILWAUKEE - Springfield beat Milwaukee 13-5, but that 
was not the real story of the game. <a href=p996.html>Babe 
Ruth </a> was, as he went deep three times. A pitch 
from <a href=p1321.html>Virgil Trucks</a> in the 3rd 
inning left his bat for a solo homerun, landing 396 
feet from home plate in right field. His 2nd shot, 
off <a href=p1321.html>Virgil Trucks</a> in the 5th 
inning, was a three-run homerun and cleared the fence 
in right field. A 410 foot drive to right-center marked 
his 3rd bomb, a two-run homerun off <a href=p359.html>Jeff 
Tam</a> in the 6th inning. Overall he collected 3 hits 
in 5 trips to the plate, with three runs scored and 
collecting 7 RBI.
