Very nice outings for Wing and Lin.

Is it normal for Great Falls to be scoring as many runs as they have been lately? Is that a product of the league they are in, or the ballpark they play in, or are they just flat over-matching their opponents? Thanks

The Pioneer League is an excellent hitters' league. The ball carries well at Great Falls but it's a huge park and is not the best hitters' park in that league. Yes, they are flat-out over matching their opponents. I listen to some of their games on the radio. For a while there they batted around almost every game at least once.
