Great Stroke: Perez Gets 5 Hits
A jubilant Alex Perez joined the postgame press conference at Cincinnati Grounds to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Buckeye Local Panthers pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the Haviland Thrashers catcher, "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 28-9 Thrashers win.

"He made it look easy," said Tyler Byrd, manager of the Panthers. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."

Alex Perez singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, hit a three-run home run off Danny Lozado in the 3rd, grounded out in the 4th, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and walked in the 8th.

This year, Perez has hit at a .278 clip with 12 RBIs, 2 home runs and 10 runs scored.
