Cureton Slaps 5 Hits
A jubilant Pat Cureton joined the postgame press conference at Rivermen Ballpark to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Waco Warlocks pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the Ottawa Lynx center fielder, "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-5 hitting performance, which led to the 10-7 Lynx win.

"He made it look easy," said Mike Schwartz, manager of the Warlocks. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."

Pat Cureton hit an RBI single in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 8th.

Currently Cureton is batting .565 with 3 home runs, 13 RBIs and 5 runs scored.
