Hat Trick of Home Runs for Short: Tim Short went the distance three times in the Torrance-Hyattsville tilt at Cabarrus County Stadium today, but the Oilers lost, 9-7.
"Gosh, it's a shame we didn't win this game," Short said later.
For the day, the Torrance first baseman went 3-for-5 against Hyattsville with 4 RBIs and 3 runs scored in a brilliant display of power hitting.
"I was in a groove and every pitch they tossed up there looked like a basketball," he said. "I tell you what, I was surprised because I didn't think the last ball had enough to get out. I thought it was just going to be a long out."
