AP. - Looks like the Surrey Indians finally figured out how to hit a baseball. A remarkable 21 hits as they cruised to a 15-10 victory. Leading the way was recent pickup Scott, who pounded out four hits. Also in fine form were Chris, Kel, Redge, and Raubert, contributing three hits apiece.

It was clear from the outset that this was not going to be an ordinary Indians game. Leading off the game, Cedge got on base and scored within the first two pitches of the game. He blooped the first pitch of the game into centre, stretching the hit into a double. On the very next pitch he attempted to steal third and was able to score easily as the throw got by the third baseman. The Indians continued to hit the ball to all spots on the field in the first inning, and were only stopped when they reached the maximum six runs.

The pitching staff, consisting of Chris and Enrique, was able to hold the Royals back. A few base on balls and errors weren't enough to knock the Indians off their gameplan, which was to win. That is, in fact, their gameplan every game, but sometimes it gets forgotten by about the fourth or fifth inning.

With the final game of the season coming up on Wednesday August 3rd, the Indians will hope to enter the postseason on a winning streak. Perhaps they should have some pregame music by Redge and Kel, and manage to just barely scrape together nine players by gametime. That combination seems to work for them.
