Chris Latham Hits for Cycle as Byrd Goes the Distance




Chris Latham hit a triple in the 1st and a double in the 2nd. Then, in the 7th, he hit a homerun to give him the three hardest parts of the cycle to get. However, it looked like he wouldn't get a chance as his team was winning by 6 runs and Paul Byrd was pitching lights out. However, his team really slapped around ace reliever Joba Chamberlain to give him a chance with 2 outs in the 8th. He pushed a hit in the 5-6 hole to complete the cycle. On the other side, Paul Byrd dominated. He retired the first 11 he face and didn't walk a hitter, striking out 10 to improve to 3-0.

Right fielder Chris Latham hit for the cycle and had 3 RBI and Paul Byrd
dominated striking out 10 Calgary batters as the Calgary Vipers were badly
beaten by the Moose Jaw Snipers, 12 to 1.

Latham enjoyed a fine evening at the plate. He tripled in the 1st inning,
doubled plating a run in the 2nd inning, blasted a two-run home run (his 1st
of the season) in the 7th inning and stroked a base-hit in the 8th inning.
Moose Jaw rapped out 14 hits for the night.

The win went to Byrd(3-0) who allowed 1 run in the game. The loss was charged
to Joel Pineiro(0-3). He got hit hard, allowing 9 hits and 2 walks in 6
innings.

When asked about his strikeout total for the game, Byrd offered, 'The fan's
really got into it. It is fun to see them tally up the strikeout totals up
there in the stands. Fortunately, I kept them busy tonight - of course, it
would be all for naught without the 'W'.'
