Garner Smacks 5 Hits for Dodgers
It was a big day with the bat for <Cam Garner:player#2287> of the <Brooklyn Dodgers:team#19> as he bashed out hit after hit after hit against <Hampton Roads:team#103>. 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 15-14. That's the story. The Squires flat out beat us!" At the end of the game Garner 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. <Cam Garner:player#2287> singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a two-run single in the 4th, singled in the 7th, walked in the 8th and hit a three-run home run off <Tim Chase:player#3197> in the 9th.
