 | Wednesday, July 16th, 2014: Kanunov Belts 5 Hits
Who needs batting practice? Taras Kanunov of Killarney apparently doesn't as he battered Alaska with a 5-hit outburst in today's game to lead his club to a 17-7 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. Wow, this was really something... a 5 for 6 day... will my name be in the record books now?"
T. Kanunov singled in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, grounded out in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 8th and hit a two-run single in the 9th.
Looking at his season stats, Kanunov has compiled a .250 batting average and a .300 on-base percentage, while hitting 2 home runs and driving in 30 runs.

 | Wednesday, July 16th, 2014: 5-Hit Barrage by Michel
If the Alaska Sled Dogs know how best to pitch the Killarney shortstop Nordine Michel they didn't tip their hand today. Instead Michel showed he knew how best to hit them as he easily handled Sled Dogs pitching, going 5 for 6 and helping the Kingsmen to a 17-7 triumph at Kingsmen Ballpark.
He told BNN reporters in the postgame interview, "The way I was swinging today, I think I could have closed my eyes and hit the ball."
The Alaska skipper quipped, "Well, the next time we may just do that... blindfold him... and then pitch him differently, just to be sure."
N. Michel doubled in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 6th, singled in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.
To date this season Michel is hitting .288 with no home runs.
