 | Tuesday, July 24th, 2012: Chávez Bewilders Frenzy in Shutout

 | Friday, July 6th, 2012: Bennett Cracks 5 Hits
5 times is a charm -- at least in the world of baseball. When a player gets 5 or more hits in a game, he is honored in the record book. The latest honoree is Stu Bennett of the Clinton Railcats.
Today he beat up their pitching to the tune of 5 hits in 5 at-bats, but it was the Cork Saints that salvaged a 11-7 victory at Railcats Ballpark.
"Bennett was a tough out today," the Cork manager said to the press in the postgame interview. "He hit some very good pitches with that quick bat of his. Not an easy out, that's for sure. I'm just glad we held everybody else in check and got the win."
Speaking to the SION writers, Bennett added, "It was a real good day for me individually, but not a good one for the team. No loss is a good one."
S. Bennett singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off J. Unknown in the 8th.
Bennett is presently hitting at a .360 pace with 2 home runs and 4 RBIs. He has played in 6 games and scored 6 times.
