Great Stroke: Carson Gets 5 Hits
William Carson really sizzled at the plate in his team's 13-12 win over the Hartford Blue Coats. The Buffalo right fielder blistered Hartford for 5 hits in 7 at-bats.

"Carson was too tough to get out today," the Blue Coats skipper said in the postgame interview. "No matter what we threw him, he hit it. And he hit some good pitches, too."

William Carson grounded out in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit a two-run triple in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 6th, flied out in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.

So far this season, Carson has 6 home runs and a .425 batting average.
