Red-Hot Welker Scorches Armadillos
Mike Welker exploded for a barrage of base hits at Armadillos Park.

The Billings catcher had a field day in his team's 18-5 triumph over the Amarillo Armadillos, finishing 5-for-6.

"My hitting philosophy is simple," he said. "I focus on just seeing the ball and I try to get a good pitch."

Welker must have focused at least 5 times and apparently got some good pitches, too, leading to one of his best days ever with the bat. Mike Welker singled in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 7th, struck out in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.

So far this year in 15 games, Welker is hitting .365 with 1 home run, 6 RBIs and 11 runs scored.
