Ford Belts 3 HRs Thursday, May 5th , 2022 Fans seated in the bleacher section at Hank Aaron Stadium were taking cover all day long as Bob Ford zeroed in on them, rattling three long blasts off the seats in a display of Herculean power. The big game from the Mobile second baseman helped the BayBears take the victory, 7-1, over the Mississippi Firebirds. "I told myself not to press on the last one," he told reporters in the postgame press conference. "I knew I couldn't force it -- it has to be a nice easy swing." For the game, he collected 3 hits in 3 at-bats, drove in 5 and scored 3 runs. Bob Ford hit a two-run home run off Oscar Willis in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Oscar Willis in the 2nd, walked in the 4th and hit a solo-shot off Steve Bowen in the 7th. Ford is hitting .242 in 2022 with 14 RBIs and 7 home runs. |
