Francis Goes 5-for-5 Against Cottage City
Newark third baseman Steve Francis could do no wrong in his team's 4-1 win over the Cannonballers, as he collected 5 hits.

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

Francis 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."

Steve Francis doubled in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, doubled in the 5th, hit an RBI double in the 6th and hit an RBI single in the 8th.

This season, Francis has hit at a .393 clip and produced 13 runs batted in, 3 home runs and 11 runs.
