5-Hit Barrage by Soto
<Dave Soto:player#3755> really sizzled at the plate today. The <Beckley:team#20> first baseman blistered the <Atlanta Peaches:team#107> for 5 hits in 6 at-bats in his club's 17-10 defeat. "Soto was too tough to get out today," the Peaches skipper said in his postgame interview. "No matter what we threw him, he hit it. And he hit some good pitches, too. But hey, I don't mind if every game somebody gets 5 hits off us, as long as we win. That's the bottom line. We ain't playin' for stats." <Dave Soto:player#3755> doubled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, struck out in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

So far this season <Soto:player#3755> has put up a .383 batting average with 49 hits, 8 home runs and 48 RBIs.
