Strong Batters Hamilton Big Time
Steve Strong exploded for a barrage of base hits at Hamilton Ballpark. The Calgary third baseman had a field day against the Hamilton Argonauts, finishing with a 5-for-5 day, even as his club took the loss, 16-10.

"It's a shame that we lost the game," he said. "It's really hard to enjoy what I did. You would think 5 hits would do it."

Steve Strong singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Kevin Sparkes in the 6th and singled in the 8th.

For the year, Strong has hit .287 with 2 home runs, 5 RBIs and scored 10 runs.
