Going Once! Twice! Gone Again! 3 HR for Connor Sunday, August 9th , 2026 The "hardest feat in sports" debate is a never-ending one with no correct answer, but hitting three home runs is certainly in the conversation. That's exactly what Justin Connor did at Yankee Stadium, going deep three times and carrying his team to victory, 11-2. "It all came together. I was seeing the ball well and I got some good pitches to hit," Connor said. "Good things happen, when that happens." The Toronto (FCL) Blue Jays left fielder blistered the New York A (FCL) Yankees for 3 hits, batted in 4 runs and scored 3 times. "It ain't like we weren't trying," New York A (FCL) manager Ralph Holter said. "He was hot and really torched my boys today." Justin Connor struck out in the 2nd, hit a two-run home run off Andrew Huck in the 3rd, struck out in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Ramon Fonseca in the 8th and hit a solo-shot off Matt Makos in the 9th. Connor has a .314 average and a .344 on-base percentage for the year. He has picked up 27 hits, 8 home runs and driven in 15 runs. |
