A jubilant Ernest Worley joined the postgame press conference at Livestock Grounds to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Kansas City Stockmen pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the Minneapolis Sawyers second 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-6 hitting performance, which led to the 14-1 Sawyers win.

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

Ernest Worley doubled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, flied out in the 4th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.

To date this season, Worley is hitting .345 with 3 home runs.
