KANSAS CITY - <a href=p113.html>Jack Maple</a> hits 
'em where they ain't. Kansas City certainly agrees 
as Toronto's second baseman unloaded five hits, adding 
to his reputation of being one of the best pure hitters 
in the game. Number 1 in the 1st inning accounted for 
a double. In the 3rd inning he belted a RBI double 
off <a href=p400.html>Alfred Betz</a>. A pitch from 
<a href=p504.html>Eric Wood</a> in the 6th inning left 
his bat for a solo homerun, landing 353 feet from home 
plate in left field. He had singles in the 4th and 
in the 7th inning (one RBI). Jack did drive in 3 while 
scoring 3 runs on his own. His 5 hit performance increases 
his batting average to .311. Toronto improved its record 
to 86-45, scoring 11 runs on 17 hits.
