Big Day with Bat: Rye 5-for-5
Carlos Rye put on a hitting clinic as the Bloemfontein Cats dumped the Durban Dockers, 13-8, at The Dockyard.

The Bloemfontein third baseman made Durban defenders earn their pay, lashing Durban pitching for 5 hits in 5 at-bats in the game. He told BNN reporters after the game that his strategy was "just hit it where they pitched it."

"Too often I try too hard to pull the ball," Rye said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch."

Carlos Rye hit a solo-shot off Arnold Richmond in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th, walked in the 7th, hit a solo-shot off Abdul-Sami bin Ya'qub in the 9th and hit a two-run double in the 10th.

Rye currently has a .291 batting average with 92 hits, 5 homers, 41 RBIs, 39 runs scored and a .349 OBP.
