Edwards 5-for-6 for Tacoma HS
A jubilant William Edwards joined the postgame press conference at Field of the Torchmen to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Jackson HS Swamp Bats pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the Tacoma HS Torchmen third baseman, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different."

That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-6 hitting performance, which led to the 17-2 Torchmen win.

"He made it look easy," said Iván Maldonado, manager of the Swamp Bats. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."

William Edwards singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, hit a two-run double in the 3rd, flied out in the 5th, singled in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off Wilfred Lane in the 8th.

To date, Edwards has collected 37 hits for a .402 average. He has posted 9 home runs, scored 20 runs and driven in 29 runs.
