Borchert Strokes 5 Hits
A jubilant Joe Borchert joined the postgame press conference at Gryphons Ballpark today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the New Jersey Jackels pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the Windy City ThunderBolts first baseman, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different."

That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-6 hitting performance, which led the ThunderBolts to a 12-11 win.

"He made it look easy," said Ian Collins, manager of the Jackels. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."

Joe Borchert doubled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, flied out in the 7th, hit a three-run home run off Branden Clink in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.

So far in 2044 Borchert is batting .298 with 9 home runs, 30 RBIs and 21 runs scored. He has 36 hits in 121 at-bats and a .412 OBP.
