Return of the First Basemen

Mighty Joe Young, who missed almost a month with a broken wrist, came back and showed no signs of lingering effects. Against the Utah Utes, Joe homered in his first at bat, and finished the game 4-4 with 2 homers and 6 RBI. Utah took a 7-3 lead in the 4th when they chased starter Tim Sullivan, but Miami's offense, led by Young and Brian Kaat, came back to win the game 12-8. Kaat had 4 hits himself and scored 4 runs.

Young is now hitting .357 with 20 homeruns. Utah will look for revenge in the next game, as their hard hitting first baseman Frank Lewis returns after missing two weeks. Frank is hitting .353 with a .493 OBP, and has 35 doubles, 6 triples, and 19 homers.
