No matter what the Albuquerque Dukes threw at him today, Matt Howard hit it. He easily handled Dukes pitching, going 5 for 5 and helping the Rainiers to a 14-6 triumph at Albuquerque Sports Stadium.

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

Told of Howard's quip, Dukes skipper Tommie Reynolds said he "would take him up on that next time."

Matt Howard hit an RBI single in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, hit a two-run single in the 3rd, walked in the 5th, tripled in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 8th.

This year Howard has hit at a .372 clip with 55 hits, 1 home run, 29 RBIs and 22 runs scored.
