Connor Torches Grasshoppers for 5 Hits
A jubilant <Mike Connor:player#8780> joined the postgame press conference at Grasshoppers Ballpark today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the <Delray Beach Grasshoppers:team#66> pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the <Sarasota Wolves:team#68> first baseman, "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-6 hitting performance, which led the Wolves to a 21-6 win.

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

<Mike Connor:player#8780> flied out in the 1st, doubled in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, walked in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

So far this year <Connor:player#8780> is hitting .314 with 32 home runs.
