Sunday, August 24th, 2008: Red-Hot Duncan Scorches Loans
5 times is a charm -- at least in the world of baseball. When a player gets 5 or more hits in a game, he is honored in the record book. The latest honoree is Paul Duncan of the Honolulu Tsunami.

Today he beat up their pitching to the tune of 5 hits in 5 at-bats, but it was the Provo Loans that salvaged a 10-8 victory at Tidal Wave Stadium.

"Duncan was a tough out today," the Provo manager said to the press in the postgame interview. "He hit some very good pitches with that quick bat of his. Not an easy out, that's for sure. I'm just glad we held everybody else in check and got the win."

Speaking to the SION writers, Duncan added, "It was a real good day for me individually, but not a good one for the team. No loss is a good one."

P. Duncan singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, doubled in the 6th, hit an RBI double in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

This year Duncan is batting .314 with 156 hits, 15 home runs, 55 RBIs, 42 walks, .371 OBP and has scored 91 runs.

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008: 5-Hits Blitz by Provo's Odom!
It was a hits blitz for Dan Odom at The Banca de Cheeze Ballpark. The Provo Loans catcher tore into Long Island for 5 hits in 6 at-bats to pace Loans to a 12-7 victory and wrote his name into the baseball record book.

The manager for the Swordfish bemoaned his pitching, saying, "We fell behind and weren't locating well. Once you get behind in the count, you have to make real good pitches, rather than good pitches, and we weren't able to do that today." He added, "Not to take anything away from Odom, but bad location was the story of the ballgame. That's why we lost the game."

D. Odom hit an RBI single in the 2nd, walked in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 7th, hit an RBI single in the 9th, grounded out in the 11th and hit a three-run home run off T. Flint in the 12th.

Odom is currently hitting at a .260 pace with 10 home runs, 49 RBIs and has scored 40 times.

Monday, August 11th, 2008: Ruth Names Top Player
Johan Toot went on a hitting spree last week against Ruth pitchers and today copped the Player of the Week Award.

The Provo Loans shortstop peppered the opposition with 14 hits in 24 at-bats, 5 home runs, 10 RBIs and 8 runs scored. In the last 7 games he hit .583 with an on-base percentage of .633.

This season Toot is batting .270 with 111 hits and 21 home runs. He has scored 68 times and has 64 runs batted in.
