5-Hit Barrage by Hart
Getting 5 hits in a game has always been memorable feat in baseball. In the Memphis's 18-4 win over Mobile, shortstop James Hart was red-hot, scorching them for hit after hit at Clipper Grounds.

"To hit the ball consistently well, you have to relax," Hart said afterward. "I was relaxed for the first four hits, but I have to admit, I got a little tight when I realized I had a chance for five. On the last at-bat, I was ready to swing at anything close."

James Hart singled in the 1st, hit a three-run home run off Harry Rogers in the 2nd, doubled in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Walter Kendrick in the 6th, grounded out in the 7th, singled in the 8th and walked in the 9th.

This year, Hart is batting .406 with 13 hits and 3 home runs. He has scored 8 times and has batted in 8 runs.
