Burlington, IA (November 4, 2008) - Bees infielder Kyle Martin ('08) continues to show off his power for the North Shore Honu of the Hawaiian Winter League. Martin added two more home runs this past week, giving him six on the season to lead the league. No one else in the league has more than three home runs. Martin also ranks 2nd in the league with a .588 slugging percentage, and ranks 4th in RBI with 19.

Fellow teammate, RHP Jason Godin ('07), has started six games so far for the Honu with a 2-1 record and 4.98 ERA. After a slow start, North Shore has won 6 of their last 10 games and is only one game out of first place.

In the Arizona Fall League, RHP Chris Hayes ('06-07) has pitched well lately for the Surprise Rafters. In his last five appearances, Hayes has pitched 7.0 innings, allowing just two earned runs and striking out five batters.

1B Kila Ka'aihue ('03-04) has found a knack for getting on base lately.

In the Venezuelan League, OF Jose Duarte ('06) had a solid last week going 4-for-12 with a double and 4 RBI.
