BOOM-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM! 4 HR for Hickman
Chicago Cubs center fielder Jim Hickman totally decimated the Cincinnati Reds, finishing with 4 home runs in his team's 12-11 win.
The Reds had no answer for Hickman, who finished the day 5-for-6 with 6 RBIs and 4 runs scored.
"What can I say? My guys could've shot the ball out of a rifle and he'd probably hit them out anyway," said Cincinnati skipper <Sparky Anderson:coach#7>. "There's nothing you can do when a guy gets in that kind of zone, you just hope he cools down some before you have to face him again."
When asked about his record performance, Hickman responded, "After the first two I just tried to do everything the same way and it worked."
Jim Hickman flied out in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Jim Merritt in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Jim Merritt in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Jim Merritt in the 6th, hit a two-run home run off Ross Grimsley in the 8th and singled in the 9th.
So far this season, Hickman is batting .356 with 9 home runs.
