Big Day for Aldridge: Swats 5 Hits
A jubilant Ben Aldridge joined the postgame press conference at Civics Field to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Ottawa Civics pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the Carmel Apples left fielder, "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-5 hitting performance, which led to the 18-12 Apples win.

"He made it look easy," said Eduardo Rosário, manager of the Civics. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."

Ben Aldridge hit an RBI single in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off John Haslam in the 2nd, hit a three-run home run off John Haslam in the 4th, walked in the 6th, singled in the 7th and hit a three-run home run off Juan Melgosa in the 9th.

To date, Aldridge has collected 37 hits for a .278 average. He has posted 15 home runs, scored 35 runs and driven in 37 runs.
