Eric Groff is kind of awesome

Yesterday, Missoula's Eric Groff became the first Osprey play to hit three home runs in one game as his team defeated the Orem Owlz 8-6.

MISSOULA, MT - Eric Groff made Missoula Osprey history and drove in the game-winning runs all in one swing on Friday at Ogren Park Allegiance Field, in front of 2,551 witnesses.

Groff hit his third home run of the game with a man on and two out in the bottom of the seventh inning, snapping a 6-all tie and giving the Osprey an 8-6 win over the Orem Owlz. It gives the Osprey (10-15) its first series win against the Owlz since 2006, and it's only the fourth time they have beaten the Orem franchise since they started in Provo in 2001.

Four series wins against a team in nine years? Yikes, talk about getting a monkey off your back.
