Darrin Fletcher smashed 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI as the Sterling Silver
Sluggers bested the Bristol Blasters 9 to 3 at Windblown Stadium.

Fletcher was in a groove all day.  He lofted a three-run bomb in the 1st
inning, banged out a single in the 3rd inning, delivered a solo blast in the
5th inning and doubled in the 7th inning.  Sterling out-hit Bristol for the
game, 15 hits to 6.  

Bobby Jones(6-6) got the win allowing 3 runs in 7 innings. Jeff D'Amico(8-4)
was the loser.  He was touched for 3 homeruns in his 6 innings of work.  

'I had good swings today,' Fletcher said, 'Everything felt right'.
