Great Stroke: Taylor Gets 6 Hits
Nashville third baseman Spencer Taylor really lit up the Louisville Thoroughbreds with a 6-hit barrage today at Ballpark of Louisville -- a performance that sparked the Muskies to a 14-10 triumph.
He shrugged off the performance after the game and said, "Sometimes the ball finds outfielders, today the ball found some holes."
Taylor singled in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, doubled in the 7th, grounded out in the 7th, singled in the 9th and singled in the 10th.
Taylor currently has a .435 batting average with 27 hits, 0 homers, 6 RBIs, 16 runs scored and a .446 OBP.

Jones Smacks 5 Hits for Fighters:
After the Shreveport 11-7 victory over Austin and his 5-hit day second baseman Brian Jones told BNN beat writers, "It really doesn't matter whether it's sandlot ball, high school or college ball, two hits in a game are very good... three or four hits even better... 5 or more are out of sight... and if it is in pro ball... it is really something special."
The 30-year-old player gained that distinction today at Austin Grounds with a spectacular 5 for 6 game against the Austin Bulls.
Fighters’ player-coach Drake Park spoke glowingly of Jones, telling BNN writers, "His swing is getting there. We want him to be quick with his swing, short and compact. We want him to be patient and go the other way when he can. Brian did that to perfection today."
Jones singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit an RBI triple in the 7th, doubled in the 8th and grounded out in the 9th.
Looking at his present stats, Jones has compiled a .351 batting average in 12 games with a .351 on-base percentage, while hitting no home runs and driving in three runs.
