Butts Rips Niagara Falls for 5 Hits
Even as a kid, Ricky Butts said his coaches told him the key to hitting was making contact, and letting everything else flow from there. At Canton Ballpark today, Butts showed how well he learned that lesson.

The 20-year-old first baseman had 5 hits in 7 at-bats for the Canton Indians, helping his team knock off the Niagara Falls Phantoms by a score of 26-0.

"They always said, just keep your eye on the ball, don't overswing, make contact and you never know what will happen," he said. "That's all I did today."

Ricky Butts flied out in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, hit an RBI double in the 3rd, grounded out in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and hit a two-run single in the 7th.

Looking at his season stats, Butts has compiled a .362 batting average and a .424 on-base percentage, while hitting 6 home runs and driving in 38 runs.
