Turner Blisters Pittsburgh
No matter what the Pittsburgh Express threw at him, Joe Turner hit it. He easily handled Express pitching, going 5 for 5 and helping the Patriots triumph, 12-3, at Patriots Fields.

"The way I was swinging, I think I could have closed my eyes and hit the ball," he told BNN reporters in the postgame interview.

Told of Turner's quip, Express skipper Mark Averill said he "would take him up on that next time."

Joe Turner hit an RBI single in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Ricky Bautista in the 4th, singled in the 5th and hit a solo-shot off Bob Newman in the 7th.

Currently Turner has 7 home runs and a .400 batting average.
