McKinney Booms 3 Homers Monday, March 15th , 2060 Whatever Avery McKinney ate for breakfast before his game against the Cullman HS Cavaliers today, it gave him some impressive power. The Hoover HS catcher smacked three balls up and out of the park at Buccaneer Place. His home run barrage led the Pirates to take the 13-10 victory over the Cavaliers. "When they throw it in your wheelhouse, you've got a shot at a homer," he told BNN reporters after the game. "I got three shots today and nailed them all." On his 3-homer day, he went 4-for-6, scored 3 times, drove in 6 and put on a display that history will remember. Avery McKinney hit a solo-shot off Phil Kiernan in the 1st, grounded out in the 2nd, hit a two-run home run off Phil Kiernan in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Stewart Valencia in the 5th, flied out in the 6th and hit an RBI single in the 8th. McKinney is hitting at a .380 mark this season. His stats show 12 home runs, 28 RBIs and 21 runs scored. He has played 21 games for the Pirates. |
