Haviland's Sverdloff Goes Ballistic with 5 Hits
Keith Sverdloff put on a hitting clinic as the Haviland Thrashers dumped the Crystal Lake Killers, 21-1, at Ballpark of Haviland.

The Haviland right fielder made Crystal Lake defenders earn their pay, lashing Crystal Lake pitching for 5 hits in 5 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," Sverdloff said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch."

Keith Sverdloff hit a two-run home run off Orlando Mijares in the 2nd, hit an RBI double in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th and hit a solo-shot off Billy Kaufman in the 7th.

This year, Sverdloff is hitting .352, produced 40 RBIs and 6 home runs, scored 39 times and gotten on base at a .420 rate.
