Sultan of Swing: Baker Goes Deep 3 Times Thursday, May 29th , 2025 Every now and then, everything just comes together. Luken Baker discovered that today at Harbor Park, as he smashed three home runs during the 13-9 Norfolk Tides win over the Syracuse Mets. "I got three balls to hit and nailed all three of them," the Norfolk first baseman said in his postgame interview. "The first was a hanging curve, the second was right down the middle and the last one was a good pitch, but I guessed right and put the wood to it." Baker, who is tied for 9th in the AAA E in bases on balls with 31, finished the day with 3 hits in 4 at-bats and 8 RBIs. Luken Baker walked in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Jim Unknown in the 3rd, hit a three-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 4th, hit a GRAND SLAM off Mason Black in the 5th, walked in the 7th and struck out in the 8th. Looking at his season stats, Baker has compiled a .270 batting average and a .398 on-base percentage, while hitting 8 home runs and driving in 33 runs. |
