Russell Has Hot Hand, Bangs 5 hits Thursday, August 28th , 2070 A jubilant Carlton Russell joined the postgame press conference at Crusaders Stadium today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Delmarva Shorebirds pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Columbia Fireflies second baseman, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different." That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-5 hitting performance, which led the Fireflies to a 6-3 win. "He made it look easy," said , manager of the Shorebirds. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Carlton Russell doubled in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th and doubled in the 8th. Currently Russell has 1 home run and a .318 batting average. |
