5-Hit Game for McKeen
A jubilant Matt McKeen joined the postgame press conference at Preachers Park today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Abilene Preachers pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the Wichita Falls Yardmen left 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 the Yardmen to a 5-4 win.

"He made it look easy," said Jimmy Macullar, manager of the Preachers. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."

Matt McKeen doubled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.

McKeen is currently batting .354 with 1 home run, 26 RBIs and 34 runs scored. He has 58 hits in 164 at-bats.
