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.

Torres Hits for Cycle Against Joplin
Frank Powers has led Maple to a 15-10 record after 4 weeks in the ABL. The loss of R2 pick Anthony Shelton was viewed at the time as possibly a season blow to Maple and their championship dreams. However Mr. Powers has been consistent from the opener on to help lessen the loss of Shelton. YTD stats below:
Bobby Hall the early star of the Sandy Springs Spartans was injured after making a diving catch in the OF in the 2nd game of the Week #4 Sim. The Spartans without him in the lineup went on to lose 5 games in a row! Hall said, "I heard something pop". Hall is scheduled to miss Week #5 to rest up and hopefully the injury won't be extended past then. The manager said, "When you lose your catalyst like this it is hard but, we need other youngster to step up now"!. His YTD stats are below:
