Bowers Rips Lake Minnetonka for 5 Hits
Ed Bowers put on a hitting clinic today as the Mercer Island Screaming Eagles dumped the Lake Minnetonka Love Boats 14-2 at Heron Field.

The Mercer Island shortstop made Lake Minnetonka defenders earn their pay, lashing Lake Minnetonka pitching for 5 hits in 5 at-bats in the game. He told BNN reporters after the game that his strategy was "just hit it where they pitched it."

"Too often I try too hard to pull the ball," Bowers said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch."

Ed Bowers hit an RBI single in the 2nd, hit a two-run single in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, singled in the 6th, walked in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.

This year Bowers has collected a .281 batting average to date with 39 hits in 139 at-bats, 26 RBIs, 3 home runs and scored 24 times. He has played in 41 games.
