 | Sunday, September 9th, 1984: Parnell Sizzles! Smokes Whalers for 5 Hits!
On top of the Syracuse hit parade today was Rich Parnell. He went to the plate 6 times and marched away with 5 hits, sparking the Slammers to victory 17-1 over the Hartford Whalers. He certainly had their number at the plate in this record-making 5-6 performance.
The sweet swinging right fielder told reporters, "Each time I went to the plate, I was thinking about hitting the ball hard somewhere. When I focus on that, I usually have quality at-bats."
The skipper of the Whalers wailed to the press, "Too much plate. Not the way we planned it. Any hitter in the league will rip you when you do that."
R. Parnell singled in the 1st, struck out in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and doubled in the 9th.
This season Parnell has delivered 135 hits in 513 at-bats for a .263 average with 15 home runs. He is getting on base at a .308 pace and his totals also include 68 RBIs, 34 walks and 73 runs scored. This year Parnell has played in 123 games.

 | Tuesday, September 4th, 1984: Maeno Injured, Day-to-Day
Reports out of Hartford indicate that Takanibu Maeno, the gifted reliever, might be sidelined for 2 weeks or so with a finger blister. The 26-year-old star suffered the injury in yesterday's Guides-Whalers game while throwing a pitch. "It's a gametime decision," noted the team doctor, "It all depends on how Takanibu feels later today. If he can play, he will."
So far this year Maeno has nailed down 1 save. His won-lost record is 5-3 with a 5.30 ERA.
