I would rather have the "WIN"....



I'm hoping to make it to the ABL soon!

Stephens Cracks 5 Hits
Sunday, May 13th, 2012: Who needs batting practice? Chris Stephens of Astoria apparently doesn't as he peppered Reno with a 5-hit outburst in today's game. He got the hits, but lost the game. The Raiders pulled out a 4-3 win.

He told the press after the game, "And I didn't even take BP today. I think I have been taking too many swings before game and decided to take a day off. This was really something... a 5 for 8 day... will my name be in the record books now?"

One of his teammates hollered out, "No, only if your team wins the game!"

Chris Stephens grounded out in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Derrick Scott in the 5th, flied out in the 7th, singled in the 9th, struck out in the 11th, doubled in the 14th and singled in the 15th.

This season Stephens is batting .338 with 49 hits and 10 home runs. He has scored 33 times and has 28 RBI.
