Harper Blisters Jacksonville
Brian Harper put on a hitting clinic today as the Milwaukee Otters dumped the Jacksonville Suns 13-2 at Field of the Running Rebels.

The Milwaukee catcher made Jacksonville defenders earn their pay, lashing Jacksonville pitching for 5 hits in 6 at-bats in the game. He told BNN reporters after the game that his strategy was "just hit it where they pitched it."

"Too often I try too hard to pull the ball," Harper said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch."

Brian Harper singled in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, grounded out in the 5th, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI double in the 8th and singled in the 9th.

In his season totals Harper has no home runs and a .329 batting average.
