Sunday, August 4th, 2013: Big Day for Wu! Swats 5 Hits!
5 hits in a game has always been a magic number in baseball. Only a handful of players will do that. Get 5 hits in a game and you get your moment of glory...your 5 minutes of fame...you get your name in the record book.

In the Sluggers 13-3 win over Greenville, Shi-fa Wu was red-hot today, scorching them for hit after hit at Sluggers Ballpark.

"To hit the ball consistently well, you have to relax. I was relaxed for the first four hits, but I must admit, I got too much adrenaline going when I realized that this was a special once-in-a-lifetime chance for the record book. On the last hit, I was ready to swing at anything close, I was that excited. That's why my third base coach called time and told me, 'Calm down and wait for a good pitch.' That got me back on track and I nailed the first one in the strike zone."

On his record-setting day Wu delivered 5 hits in 5 at-bats, a day he will not soon forget.

S. Wu doubled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, doubled in the 6th and walked in the 8th.

So far in 2013, Wu is batting .260 with 5 home runs and 30 RBIs.

This season Martínez has 7 wins and 11 losses and a 4.66 ERA.
