Faulkner Blisters Clearwater
Eric Faulkner was at the head of a Charlotte hit parade at Charlotte Sports Park. The catcher went to the plate 6 times and came away with 5 hits, sparking the Stone Crabs to a nice 18-9 victory over the Clearwater Threshers.

"I told the guys in the dugout, just be thinking about hitting the ball hard somewhere," the sweet-swinging Faulkner told reporters after the game. "Seems like it worked out well for us today."

Threshers skipper Hector Santiago said later that the club gave up "too much plate."

"Not the way we planned it," he said. "Every hitter in the league will rip you when you do that."

Eric Faulkner hit an RBI single in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, struck out in the 4th, singled in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off Willie Griffin in the 8th.

For the season, Faulkner is hitting at a .607 clip with 1 home run, 8 RBIs and has scored 6 runs. He has 17 hits, 1 walk and a .600 on-base percentage.
