Cantwell on Fire, 5-for-6 Against Providence
Some moments become linked with a particular player's career forever. Hugh Cantwell of the Reading Red Caps had one of those moments when he went 5-for-6 at the plate in his team's 15-8 win over the Providence Patriots at Railmen's Yard.

"I won't forget this anytime soon, and I don't expect it to happen too often," the 23-year-old first baseman told reporters in the postgame interview. "I'll be happy to just get a hit or two every day. Enough to hang around the league a while longer. Like 10, maybe 15 more years."

Hugh Cantwell singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Luther Dunham in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 6th and grounded out in the 8th.

Cantwell is currently batting .352 with 2 home runs and 10 RBIs.
