Big Day for Cooper: Swats 5 Hits
A jubilant <Kyle Cooper:player#10774> joined the postgame press conference at Hooks Park today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the <Havre de Grace Ducks:team#41> pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the <Corpus Christi Hooks:team#47> second 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-5 hitting performance, which led the Hooks to a 3-2 win.

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

<Kyle Cooper:player#10774> singled in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, doubled in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.

This season <Cooper:player#10774> has hit at a .245 clip with 58 RBIs, 5 home runs and 43 runs scored. He has played in 113 games.
