Barney Swats 3 HR Against Vancouver
<Ocean City Crabpots:team#25> second baseman <Bill Barney:player#12320> sensed he was going to have a good day at the plate, but he still might have underestimated it a little.

Prior to the start of today's contest with the <Vancouver Canadians:team#35>, Barney told teammates he was sure he would hit a home run. He did -- three times.

"During batting practice I really had my swing down pat," he recalled. "I felt some thunder in the lumber."

The big day from Barney pushed the Crabpots past the Canadians, 12-1. To go along with the homers, he collected 8 RBIs and scored 3 runs.

"I was seeing good, feeling good and swinging good," Barney told reporters after the game.

<Bill Barney:player#12320> hit a three-run home run off <Dave Stack:player#10545> in the 1st, flied out in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off <Nate Klemm:player#1159> in the 6th, hit a GRAND SLAM off <Nate Klemm:player#1159> in the 7th and struck out in the 9th.
