5-for-7 Day for bin Ratib Sunday, June 25th , 2062 The Anchorage Polar Bears stopped the Elkins Buzzards by a score of 5-4 at The Igloo, with the lion's share of the credit going to third baseman Abdul-Shakur bin Ratib. The 18-year-old had a career day, collecting 5 hits. "Every batter wants to have a quality at-bat every time he steps up to the plate," bin Ratib said later.
