Metzger 5-for-5 for Houston
Houston catcher Clive Metzger had a big day at Mission Grounds against the San Antonio Vaqueros. The 31-year-old, who is not typically considered a big threat with the bat, went 5-for-5 and led to the 23-9 Eagles triumph over San Antonio.

"Hey, I'm as surprised as you guys are," Metzger said in his postgame comments, smiling as he scolded the press corps for underestimating him. "Maybe I'm not so bad at the plate after all."

Clive Metzger singled in the 1st, hit a three-run triple in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, hit a two-run double in the 4th, walked in the 5th, walked in the 7th and doubled in the 9th.

Metzger is hitting at a .351 mark this season. His stats show 2 home runs, 29 RBIs and 71 runs scored. He has played 51 games for the Eagles.
