Red-Hot Pyle Scorches Cardinals
It was a great day at the plate for Brian Pyle. For his Northwest Arkansas Naturals, the day was not nearly as good.

The third baseman collected 5 hits in 5 tries, but his club still came up short in the win column. The Springfield Cardinals snatched the victory, topping the Naturals by a score of 6-3.

"Well that wasn't how it was supposed to end," Pyle said later. "I'll just have to do it again and get it right."

Brian Pyle singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

To date Pyle has chalked up a .294 average with 12 home runs, driven in 51 runs and scored 59 times.
