Tracy on Fire: 5-for-5 for Erie
It seemed that Erie third baseman Chad Tracy could do no wrong as the Blackbirds KO'd the Colored Gophers, 19-8 today. Tracy rapped out 5 hits in 5 at-bats and seemed to know which pitches Colored Gophers hurlers were throwing.

"I think the Blackbirds were stealing signs," growled one unhappy St. Paul fan after the game.

"I just felt good today. I saw the ball well and just wanted to make good contact and put the ball in play," said the jubilant Tracy in the postgame press interview.

Chad Tracy singled in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, hit a three-run home run off Jared Fernandez in the 6th, hit a two-run home run off Tom A Gorman in the 7th and walked in the 8th.

Tracy currently has a .352 batting average with 45 hits, 16 homers, 34 RBIs, 25 runs scored and a .400 OBP.
