Great Day for Bence -- 5 Hits
A jubilant Josh Bence joined the postgame press conference at Pharaohs Ballpark to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Cairo Pharaohs pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the Beijing Emperors 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 to the 8-7 Emperors win.

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

Josh Bence hit a solo-shot off David Numbers in the 2nd, hit a two-run home run off David Numbers in the 3rd, doubled in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off Haddis Sahnine in the 7th and doubled in the 9th.

In his season totals, Bence has 11 home runs, .295 BA, .388 OBP, 41 RBIs and 34 runs scored. He has played in 57 games.
