Great Stroke: Veen Gets 5 Hits
Champagne right fielder Zac Veen could do no wrong in his team's 18-4 win over the Flying Dutchmen, as he collected 5 hits.

"Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Flying Dutchmen skipper said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts."

Veen agreed, saying that getting ahead early in the counts was "the key" to his game.

"Once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get a better pitch to hit," he said. "You know the pitcher has to come in with it. And you're ready."

Zac Veen singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, hit an RBI double in the 4th, tripled in the 5th, singled in the 7th, struck out in the 8th and flied out in the 9th.

Veen's current batting average stands at .667 and he has chalked up 2 home runs and 8 RBIs.
