| Breaking News |  | Monday, May 1st, 2017: 5 Hits for Talons Axecutter
It wasn't just another day at the ballpark for Girith Axecutter. It was very special day, one that many players never experience. But he did. Axecutter went on a tear and cracked hit after hit off Osgiliath pitching.
When the dust settled on the diamond at Tumladen Grounds, he had a career 5-5 day and something he will long remember. And the Tumladen Talons had a 6-0 victory over the Captains.
"Yeah, it'll be something nice to tell the grandkids, but it won't get me a hit tomorrow," he laughed in the SION postgame interview.
G. Axecutter singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 8th and hit a two-run home run off D. Ringbearer in the 9th.
In his season totals, Axecutter has 2 home runs, .242 BA, .289 OBP, 18 RBIs and 15 runs scored. He has played in 28 games. |

The Talons had a good day, too, and won the ballgame 6-0.
T. Bunce doubled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, doubled in the 6th, hit a two-run double in the 8th and singled in the 9th.
This year Bunce has batted at a .265 pace with 30 hits, no home runs, 20 RBIs and scored 15 times. |
