  Reached at City Stadium in Lynchburg, both Clemens and Ori declined to comment.

  Salem Avalanche first baseman Mark Ori leads the Carolina League in RBIs and is fourth overall in batting average.
  ...
  Although Salem Avalanche first baseman Mark Ori has just six home runs, he does rank fourth in the Carolina League in doubles with 24.
  
  Mark Ori is a changed man.
  
  For the Salem Avalanche first baseman, that means that he has stopped changing.
  ...
  Bodie didn't know Ori last year when the left-handed hitter kept a pitch-by-pitch log of his every at bat.
  ...
  Ori admitted he could sometimes make himself "crazy" with changes.
  ...
  Ori said Bodie changed his batting stance, closing it up a bit, and helped him work on his rhythm and timing at the plate.
  ...
  "The biggest thing is trying to get a little more movement," Ori said.
  
  When he steps into the batters box, Ori uses his bat to draw two lines in the dirt measuring off the spot where his feet should be for maximum plate coverage.
  ...
  "It worked at first," Ori said. "Then I went through a period where I struggled.
  
  "But I stuck with it."
  
  Having gone so far toward "pull happy" the last two seasons, Ori wanted very much to hit to the opposite field, opening the door for opposing pitchers to beat him with inside pitches.
  
  He, Bodie and Houston Astros roving instructor Orv Franchuk worked on handling inside pitches.
  
  That, in turn, has helped him take advantage of the hole in the infield created when there was a runner at first base, something he wasn't doing at the start of the season.
  ...
  Ori's role, and that of any first baseman, is offensive production.
  
  Ori ranks fourth in the Carolina League with a .313 batting average and has driven in a league-best 62 runs.
  
  "That's a first for me," Ori said. "That's about guys getting on base because I don't have a lot of home runs."
  
  The RBIs are not just about other guys getting on base. Only teammate Jimmy Van Ostrand hits better with runners on base or in scoring position.
  
  But it's true that Ori doesn't hit a lot of home runs. His six so far this season are 11 shy of the league's lead.
  
  "It's never been my swing," Ori said. "I've always been a doubles hitter, gap to gap."
  
  Ori said that he has never felt pressure from inside the Houston Astros organization to hit more home runs.
  
  "That's what fans always ask, that's what they love," Ori said.
  ...
  But Ori is 6-foot-4 and a muscular 225 pounds.
  
  He is 24 years old and better than halfway through his second season with the Avalanche.
  ...
  Ori, though, is ready to move on as far as Bodie is concerned.

  This time Salem's relievers and a nifty defensive play by first baseman Mark Ori stemmed the Indians' damage and the Avalanche was able to trim the lead and even bring the potential tying run to the plate in the ninth inning.
  ...
  And the Avalanche's first man out of the bullpen, Jordan Powell, might have suffered far worse damage than one run on four hits in 1 23 innings if not for Ori's bases-loaded double play in the fifth inning, making an out at first and then firing home to save a run.
