Seward Socks It to Crows, Cracks 5 Hits
It was a parade of hits for Dwight Seward of the Minneapolis Sawyers at Ashland Yards.

Connecting almost every time he went to the plate, Seward finished the day with a total of 5 hits in 6 at-bats. His strong individual effort propelled the Sawyers to a win, 8-7.

"Seward was really good and we were really bad," groaned Crows manager Joe Enes. "Next time he's that hot, we'll just walk him."

Dwight Seward hit a three-run home run off Charles Johnson in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 9th, grounded out in the 11th and walked in the 13th.

So far this season, Seward has 1 home run and a .676 batting average.
