Bartlett Parks 3 HR in the Seats Thursday, July 30th, 1981 If you were sitting in the bleachers and brought your glove to the Navigators-Steelers game, there was a good chance you'd catch one of the three home runs hit by Dave Bartlett. The Navigators catcher repeatedly sent eager fans scurrying to catch a souvenir and led Newport to a 7-5 win over Irondale. "Hey, the three homers were great, but I'm just trying to help my ballclub ... not thinkin' about home runs. I'm just thinkin' about winning ballgames. When you think about home runs, you very seldom get 'em," he philosophized in the postgame press conference. Bartlett was 3 for 4 on the day with 6 runs batted in. Dave Bartlett hit a two-run home run off Millard Orr in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Millard Orr in the 3rd, walked in the 5th, flied out in the 7th and hit a three-run home run off Jason Knapp in the 9th. Bartlett on the season is batting .299 with 32 home runs. His totals include 80 RBIs and 74 runs scored. He has played in 98 games. |
