Dobson Sizzles -- Smokes Minutemen for 5 Hits
Randy Dobson did a number on the Minutemen in the 6-5 Whitman victory -- and the number was 5. The Panthers third baseman banged out 5 hits in 5 at-bats at Worcester Grounds to lead his club past the Middleboro Minutemen.

"I felt good in the batter's box," he said. "I had confidence in my swing and knew that it was there and that I could get the job done."

Randy Dobson singled in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 5th, singled in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Pat Blake in the 9th.

In the current season, Dobson has put up a .283 batting average with 108 hits, 20 home runs, 70 runs batted in and scored 70 runs.
