Ike Davis ‘walks-off’ with multi-homer game

During the New York Mets 2-1 victory over the Houston Astros on Sunday afternoon, first baseman Ike Davis collected his second multi-home run game of the year and fourth of his career, while sparring NY from the potential embarrassment of losing a weekend series to the lowly Houston Astros in the process:

His first solo blast came on an 0-1 offering from Astros starter, Lucas Harrell, in the bottom half of the  fourth-inning.  His second homer of the afternoon, which barely cleared the right field wall came in the ninth, giving the Mets their 10th last at-bat victory of the season and Davis’ second game-ending home run of his career.  The 25-year-old first baseman struggled mightily over the first two months of the season, hitting a combined .170 with eight home runs.  But, after finding his power in June and July — belting 15 home runs — Ike is hitting .296 (21-71) with four home runs and 10 RBI in August and is now just six homers shy of 30 while seeing his season average hit a season best, .223 in the process.

“I was so bad for so long and hitting .220 would have seemed pretty outrageous at that time but it started turning around a couple months ago. Hopefully I can continue to get better and grind out at-bats and we’ll see what happens.”

    I lost alot in life..and not material things I mean in the way of family, relationships and trust.. Last year I met a really nice man and due to faults of my own he left me in early January..After two months of crying and feeling helpless as I so wanted that second chance with him, I started searching the net to see if there was any help at all that would change my situation around. I then came accross priestandrew91@yahoo.com call it fate or destiny that brought me here..
    In all honesty I was very sceptical but also desperate at the same time, anything was worth a try. I contacted priestandrew91@yahoo.com who spoke to me at lenght about my situation and I decided to go ahead with the love spell. Then 4 days into it, I saw results that I never expected, my man came back and things began to progress, AMAZING.. I don’t know what i would have done without Priest Andrew.All I can say is “THANK YOU PRIEST ANDREW YOU ARE THE BEST”……………Helen
