Shirley Tags River Bandits for 5 Hits
After a 5-hit effort to lead Kane County's 12-10 victory over the Quad Cities River Bandits, catcher John Shirley told BNN beat writers it had been "a special day."

"It really doesn't matter whether it's sandlot ball, high school or college, two hits in a game is nice," he said. "Three or four is better, but five or more is out of sight. And to do that at the Midwest League-level is really something special."

The 23-year-old player earned his accolades today at Modern Woodmen Park with a spectacular 5-for-6 game against the River Bandits.

"His swing is getting there," said Cougars skipper Eddie Pallares, who spoke glowingly of Shirley after the game. "We want him to be quick with his swing, short and compact. We want him to be patient and go the other way when he can. John did that to perfection today."

John Shirley singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, flied out in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Ricky Tarango in the 9th.

For the season, Shirley is hitting at a .354 clip with 5 home runs, 33 RBIs and has scored 33 runs. He has 74 hits, 28 walks and a .430 on-base percentage.
