Koerner 6-for-6 for Earthquakes
Curt Koerner of the Earthquakes was unstoppable in his team's 12-7 victory over the Haviland Thrashers at Ballpark of Haviland. He battered them for 6 hits in 6 at-bats.

"Boy, I was on the mark today," said the Ft. Wayne catcher after the game. "I could see the ball real well. It's a great feeling to do this. And besides, 6-for-6 won't hurt your batting average like 0-for-5 will."

Curt Koerner hit an RBI single in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Russ Burleson in the 4th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

This year, Koerner has socked 178 hits in 368 at-bats for a .484 average with 61 home runs. He is getting on base at a .533 pace and his totals also include 146 RBIs and 139 runs scored.
