Newell Sizzles -- Smokes Polar Bears for 5 Hits Thursday, August 21st, 2042 No matter what the Billings Polar Bears threw at him today, Rick Newell hit it. He easily handled Polar Bears pitching, going 5 for 5 and helping the Blue Sox to a 7-4 triumph at Blue Sox Ballpark. "The way I was swinging today, I think I could have closed my eyes and hit the ball," he told BNN reporters in the postgame interview. Told of Newell's quip, Polar Bears skipper Marvin Nelson said he "would take him up on that next time." Rick Newell hit an RBI single in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, hit a two-run single in the 4th, doubled in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 8th.
