Chadwick Slaps 5 Hits
A jubilant Josh Chadwick joined the postgame press conference at Shamrocks Park to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Sikeston Shamrocks pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the Niskayuna Fighting Knights left fielder, "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-6 hitting performance, which led to the 10-7 Fighting Knights win.

"He made it look easy," said William Antczak, manager of the Shamrocks. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."

Josh Chadwick grounded out in the 1st, doubled in the 2nd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 8th and singled in the 9th.

In 5 games this season, Chadwick has compiled a .333 batting average with 8 hits and no home runs. He has also scored 5 times and knocked in 2 runs.
