Massachusetts right fielder Ben Meilleur could do no wrong in today's 15-6 win over the Juggernauts as he collected 5 hits.

"Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Juggernauts skipper said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts."

Meilleur agreed, saying that getting ahead early in the counts was "the key" to his game.

"Once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get a better pitch to hit," he said. "You know the pitcher has to come in with it. And you're ready."

Ben Meilleur singled in the 1st, singled in the 1st, singled in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off José Estrada in the 5th, flied out in the 7th and hit an RBI double in the 9th.

Meilleur is hitting .318 for the season with 2 home runs, 14 RBIs and 18 runs scored. He has 50 hits in 157 at-bats and played in 41 games.
