Claessens Rips 3 HR Wednesday, June 23rd , 2151 Leroy Claessens went yard three times in a Oslo Voyageurs victory over the Cairo Pharaohs at Pharaohs Ballpark. "I was in a groove," he said.

For the day, the Oslo right fielder went 4-for-5 against Cairo with 7 RBIs and 3 runs scored in a brilliant display of power hitting that led the Voyageurs to the 12-2 win. "I tell you what. I'm shocked because I didn't think that last ball had enough to get out," he told BNN reporters in the clubhouse following the game. "I thought it was just going to be a long out." Leroy Claessens hit a solo-shot off Norbert Armelini in the 2nd, hit a three-run home run off Norbert Armelini in the 2nd, hit a two-run single in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Pang Chang in the 6th and struck out in the 8th.
