Great Stroke: Baldwin Gets 5 Hits
It's not something you read about in the sports pages every day -- a 5-for-6 day. For many, it might come around only once in a career -- and for Norman Baldwin, it came around today.

The 21-year-old first baseman scattered hits all over Ironhook Grounds to pace the 14-2 Toledo Mudcats victory over the Des Moines Pioneers.

Des Moines skipper Alex Delgado told reporters in the press room that "Baldwin deserves a hat-tip."

"He hit some good pitches against us," he said. "In fact, according to our scouting reports, Baldwin hit several that he is not supposed to be able to hit."

Norman Baldwin hit an RBI triple in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, flied out in the 7th and singled in the 8th.

This year, Baldwin is batting .398 with 10 home runs.
