7 Hits for Earthquakes Squires
Micah Squires put on a hitting clinic as the Ft. Wayne Earthquakes dumped the Sunrise Manor Sunchasers, 20-4, at Field of the Sunchasers.

The Ft. Wayne center fielder made Sunrise Manor defenders earn their pay, lashing Sunrise Manor pitching for 7 hits in 7 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," Squires said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch."

Micah Squires singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Zach Bruce in the 7th, hit an RBI single in the 7th, hit a three-run triple in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Jose Pinedo in the 9th.

This year, Squires is hitting .652, produced 8 RBIs and 3 home runs, scored 8 times and gotten on base at a .667 rate.
