Sultan of Swing: Cooke Goes Deep 3 Times
Thursday, April 16th , 2026
Every now and then, everything just comes together.
Nehemiah Cooke discovered that today at Trash Pandas Stadium, as he smashed three home runs during the 10-1 Rocket City Trash Pandas win over the Chattanooga Lookouts.
"I got three balls to hit and nailed all three of them," the Rocket City center fielder 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."
Cooke finished the day with 3 hits in 5 at-bats and 4 RBIs.
Nehemiah Cooke grounded out in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Jason Creason in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Matt Larson in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Matt Larson in the 7th and grounded out in the 8th.
Cooke is hitting at a .304 mark this season. His stats show 4 home runs, 7 RBIs and 6 runs scored. He has played 7 games for the Trash Pandas.
