Red-Hot Fitzgerald Scorches Twins
A jubilant Michael Fitzgerald joined the postgame press conference at Falcon Park today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Auburn Twins pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the Newark Co-Pilots third 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-5 hitting performance, which led the Co-Pilots to a 9-5 win.

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

Michael Fitzgerald singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Jim Unknown in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 6th and hit a two-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 8th.

This season Fitzgerald has banged out 16 hits in 63 at-bats for a .254 average with 4 home runs. He is getting on base at a .347 pace and his totals also include 10 RBIs and 7 runs scored.
