Wright Rips Montgomery for 5 Hits
No matter what the Montgomery Moccasins threw at him, George Wright hit it. He easily handled Moccasins pitching, going 5 for 6 and helping the Smokers triumph, 23-3, at Riverbend Park.

"The way I was swinging, I think I could have closed my eyes and hit the ball," he told BNN reporters in the postgame interview.

Told of Wright's quip, Moccasins skipper Cory Southwick said he "would take him up on that next time."

George Wright hit an RBI single in the 2nd, grounded out in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 6th, walked in the 6th, doubled in the 8th and singled in the 9th.

To date Wright has chalked up a .255 average with 2 home runs, driven in 10 runs and scored 22 times.
