If any of the more than
5,000 fans in attendance didn’t
know Joey Bart’s name going
into the Salem-Keizer Volca-
noes Fourth of July game, the
No. 2 overall pick in the 2018
Major League Baseball draft
made sure they knew it after-
wards.
Bart, in just his second at-
bat with the Volcanoes, hit
a two-run home run to left
fi eld.
“I wasn’t really thinking
that much, like I always do at
the plate or most of the time,”
Bart said. “It was a change up
and I went down and got it
and put a good swing on it
and it got up out of here. I got
a good pitch to hit, a pitch I
like and did some damage
with it.”
Bart hit another home run
in the bottom of the eighth
and fi nished his fi rst game
with the Volcanoes 3-for-5
with four RBIs.
“My fi rst game getting in
front of all those people was a
great time,” Bart said. “Obvi-
ously the home runs are great
