Sledd Socks It to Blockbusters, Cracks 5 Hits
John Sledd of the Traders was unstoppable in his team's 10-5 victory over the Los Angeles Blockbusters at Blockbuster Stadium. He battered them for 5 hits in 6 at-bats.

"Boy, I was on the mark today," said the Chicago third baseman after the game. "I could see the ball real well. It's a great feeling to do this. And besides, 5-for-6 won't hurt your batting average like 0-for-5 will."

John Sledd doubled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit a two-run single in the 7th and struck out in the 9th.

Sledd is currently hitting .289 with 4 home runsand 40 RBIs, while scoring 44 runs.
