Big Bang! 3 HR for West Virginia's Rupp Thursday, May 4th , 2023 Whatever Jesse Rupp ate for breakfast before his game against the Cincinnati Bearcats, it gave him some impressive power. The West Virginia right fielder smacked three balls up and out of the park at Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium. His home run barrage helped the Mountaineers defeat the Bearcats, 17-2. "When they throw it in your wheelhouse, you've got a shot at a homer," he told BNN reporters after the game. "I got three shots today and nailed them all." On his 3-homer day, he went 3-for-6, scored 3 times, drove in 4 and put on a display that history will remember. Jesse Rupp hit a two-run home run off John Rogers in the 1st, grounded out in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Robbie Keyes in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Rich Ramirez in the 4th, struck out in the 6th and struck out in the 8th. Thus far this season in 46 games, Rupp is batting .282 with 17 home runs, 47 RBIs and 38 runs scored. He has 51 hits in 181 at-bats. |
