 | Tuesday, June 17th, 2014: Phillips Belts Bunch of Base Hits
Ralph Phillips really sizzled at the plate in today's 35-8 win over Colonels. The Seminole right fielder blistered Bentonville for 5 hits in 6 at-bats.
"Phillips was too tough to get out today," the Colonels skipper said in the postgame interview. "No matter what we threw him, he hit it. And he hit some good pitches, too."
R. Phillips singled in the 1st, tripled in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, grounded out in the 4th, singled in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Á. López in the 7th, walked in the 7th and walked in the 8th.

| Tuesday, June 17th, 2014: Yang 6-8 Against Bentonville
Next time the Colonels might think twice about pitching to Kyeong-min Yang. Today at Seminole Fields the Seminole catcher really burned Bentonville pitching, going 6-for-8 in the Hailstorm 35-8 triumph.
"When he's seeing the ball well," his skipper told reporters, "he can probably stroke a base hit blindfolded."
So far in 2014 Yang is hitting .356 with no home runs, 19 RBIs and 14 runs scored. He has 53 hits and played in 38 games.

| Tuesday, June 17th, 2014: Hooray for Rivas! Hammers 6 Hits!
Today the Hailstorm downed the Colonels 35-8 as Luis Rivas sprayed hits all over Seminole Fields in a 6-hit explosion, finishing up with 6 hits in 7 at-bats.
The Seminole left fielder said to SION reporters in the postgame interview, "It makes it easier if you get a good pitch. The odds are in your favor then, not the pitcher's. I got a bunch of very pretty pitches to hit today, and I didn't miss any of them."
L. Rivas hit an RBI single in the 1st, tripled in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, grounded out in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off Á. López in the 7th, hit a GRAND SLAM off W. Holbrook in the 7th and walked in the 8th.
This year Rivas has 4 home runs and a .355 batting average.
