Smith Rips Stellenbosch for 5 Hits
Cradock first baseman Maurice Smith could do no wrong in his team's 11-4 win over the Tanks, as he collected 5 hits.

"Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Tanks skipper said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts."

Smith agreed, saying that getting ahead early in the counts was "the key" to his game.

"Once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get a better pitch to hit," he said. "You know the pitcher has to come in with it. And you're ready."

Maurice Smith singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Berhanu Donkor in the 4th, flied out in the 6th, hit a two-run double in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

Smith is batting at a .262 pace this season, picking up 51 hits in 195 at-bats with 4 home runs, 26 RBIs and 22 runs scored.
