5-Hit Barrage by MacNamara
It was a big day with the bat for <Tony MacNamara:player#275> of the <California Mallards:team#5> as he bashed out hit after hit after hit against <Oregon:team#75>. To the press after the ballgame he modestly said, "Guys, it's just one game in a long season. I hit it hard and found some holes today... and Bingo! -- 5 hits in 5 tries! But my hits are not the big story in the game. We lost the game 12-7. That's the story. The Explorers flat out beat us!" At the end of the game MacNamara had collected 5 hits in 5 at-bats and a small mention in the record book. He was happy for his big day with the bat, but not too happy with the outcome of the game. The beat writers were happy, too. They had their big story -- they could write about his big day with the bat. <Tony MacNamara:player#275> singled in the 1st, hit a two-run double in the 2nd, doubled in the 5th, hit a two-run double in the 6th and doubled in the 9th.
