5-Hit Barrage by Osakwe
Liberia center fielder Juma Osakwe went down swinging at Avarua Grounds today, knocking out 5 hits even as his Liberia fell, 25-14.

"It was like I was hitting Little League pitching," Osakwe said after his 5-for-6 performance against the Spain. "No offense meant to Spain, but it was like I was back in little league again -- I could see the ball that well."

After the game, his manager elaborated on the center fielder's improvements, saying Osakwe spent the offseason trying to shorten his swing and stay inside the ball.

"That's what I'm trying to do," Osakwe agreed. "Be quick to the ball and let it travel a little farther so I get a better look at it."

Juma Osakwe singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, flied out in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 5th, singled in the 6th and doubled in the 9th.

This season Osakwe is batting at a .257 clip with no home runs and 5 RBIs.
