Louisville Bats News Release
In yesterday's Bats game, three franchise records were tied or broken (strikeouts in a game, career home runs and career multi home run games):
- HOMER'S RECORD DAY:
RHP Homer Bailey struck out a career high 15 Hens batters yesterday (nine consecutive between the 3rd and 6th innings) to tie the franchise record set by Ken Hill (5/10/90 vs. Indy). The 17 overall batters struck out by Bailey and reliever Ben Jukich were the most since Bats pitchers struck out 18 last season at Pawtucket (6/12) - Justin Mallett (8), Todd Coffey (2), Jon Adkins (3), Josh Roenicke (1) and Tyler Pelland (4)
- BARKER'S NEW RECORD:
1B Kevin Barker (1998-99, 2008-09) is the Louisville franchise's new home run king with 71, passing Brandon Larson's 70 homer mark set from 2000-04. Barker's two home run game yesterday also made him the all-time leader in multi-homer games, breaking a six-game tie with Larson. Barker's three-hit game yesterday also moved him into sixth place on the all-time hits list with 366, passing Stan Royer's 365.
