Roth Bashes 5 Base Hits
Cole Roth put on a hitting clinic as the Medford Desperados dumped the Newport Unicorns, 14-2, at Chanticleers Ballpark.

The Medford left fielder made Newport defenders earn their pay, lashing Newport pitching for 5 hits in 6 at-bats in the game. He told BNN reporters after the game that his strategy was "just hit it where they pitched it."

"Too often I try too hard to pull the ball," Roth said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch."

Cole Roth singled in the 1st, hit a three-run home run off Lorenzo Martinez in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit a three-run home run off Lorenzo Martinez in the 6th, flied out in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

So far this year, Roth is batting .391 with 8 home runs and 48 RBIs.
