Byrd Belts 5 Hits
Chicago Cougars second baseman Buddy Byrd had a day to remember at Dominion Stadium, ripping apart the Toronto Wolves and sparking the 12-1 Cougars win.

Byrd wrote his name in the record books with a 5-hit barrage, finishing his special day 5-for-5.

"I'm usually a first ball hitter," Byrd told BNN reporters in the postgame press conference. "I think pitchers think batters are going to let the first one go by. I never do. I've always found that it's better to pull the trigger early in the count. Pitchers get real nasty when they get ahead of you, so I try to avoid it."

Buddy Byrd singled in the 1st, hit a two-run single in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 5th, doubled in the 6th and singled in the 8th.

Byrd is currently batting .401 with 2 home runs, 27 runs scored and 30 RBIs. His OBP is .431.
