Bennett Stars for Centurions in 9-1 Win
A 4-RBI performance from catcher Lou Bennett, who is tied for 10th in the GWL with a .352 batting average, led the Dallas Centurions to a win over the San Diego Conquistadors, 9-1. The Conquistadors, now 5-11, continue their sluggish start.

Bennett contributed a big hit, a 2-run double, for Dallas in the bottom of the fifth. With his team trailing 1-0, Bennett took a fastball from Johnny Slaney and stroked the double to left. His 6th double of the season allowed the Centurions to leap in front, 2-1.

In postgame comments to the Dallas Times, Bennett said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
