Joseph Ogden was the King of Swing at Bayou Field in the 14-5 Fort Worth Drovers win over the Houston Eagles. The Fort Worth shortstop stepped into the batter's box 6 times against Houston and delivered 5 hits. It was a sensational game for him.

"Unbelievable feeling," he told the press. "It felt good. 5-for-6 isn't bad for your batting average either."

Joseph Ogden singled in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, hit an RBI double in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 6th, singled in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.

So far this season, Ogden has put up a .335 batting average with 74 hits, 4 home runs and 60 RBIs.
