"Believe it or not," said Freeland second baseman Jesse Landrum, "they threw me some good pitches today."

"He made it look easy," said the Colorado Springs manager, who saw his team fall to the Freeland Sojourners, 9-8. "Hats off to him!"
J. Landrum hit an RBI double in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th.
