Davis Socks It to Steers, Cracks 5 Hits
There aren't many who could be pro ballplayers and there are even fewer who could put up 5 hits in a day.

Charlie Davis is one of those rare few, as he went 5-for-7 against the Dallas Steers at Trinity Grounds. The monster effort from the 33-year-old second baseman helped the Waco Drummers get the win, 24-17.

"We made some bad pitches and he took advantage of it," said Steers manager . "That's the game, though. Don't make mistakes and you'll win ballgames. Make mistakes and, well, you saw what happened today."

Charlie Davis singled in the 1st, hit a two-run double in the 2nd, grounded out in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 5th, singled in the 7th and struck out in the 9th.

Thus far this season in 82 games, Davis is batting .369 with 2 home runs, 70 RBIs and 121 runs scored. He has 140 hits in 379 at-bats.
