Thursday, April 11th, 2013: Banton Slams 5 Hits for Houston
Today the Monarchs downed the Armadillos 10-7, but Sean Banton did his best to avoid that outcome as he lashed hits all over Old League Park in a 5-hit explosion, finishing with 5 hits in 6 at-bats.

"I don't remember a better day batting, but it sure is disappointing to lose the game," the Houston left fielder said to BNN reporters in the postgame interview. "A win would have made the day much sweeter."

Asked if he had a hitting philosophy, Banton said, "It makes it easier if you get a good pitch. The odds are in your favor then, not the pitcher's. I got a bunch of good pitches to hit today, and I didn't miss any of them."

S. Banton grounded out in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, doubled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI double in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

This year Banton is hitting .432 with no home runs and 6 RBIs to his credit. He has gotten on base at a .444 clip and scored 2 runs.

Monday, April 8th, 2013: Kerry on a Hot Streak, AL Player of the Week
There's nothing like being in the prime of your baseball career -- and playing like it. Just ask David Kerry, the Seattle right fielder, who swung a sweet bat all week to not only aid his team, but also pick up the Adams League Player of the Week honors.

Kerry piled up 12 hits in 23 at-bats, 2 home runs and 6 RBIs while hitting .522.

Monday, April 1st, 2013: Seattle Monarchs, Mashers Agree to Trade
Several Monarchs and Mashers players soon will have to start shopping for a new home. It was announced today that the two teams came to agreement on a trade. Seattle will get 26-year old reliever Dalton Davis and 31-year old minor league starting pitcher Kevin Stephens and Maui will pick up 25-year old reliever Wesley Elton and 33-year old minor league starting pitcher David Milam in return. "I'm not surprised by the news," one of the players told reporters, "It's part of the business and I understand that. I am looking forward to playing for the Monarchs."

Since he came into the league, Elton has 3 saves with a 6-3 record and a 2.83 ERA.

Since coming into the league, Stephens has a 12-16 mark and a 4.41 ERA. The 31-year-old hurler also has struck out 83 batters in 242.2 innings and permitted 308 hits.
