Geisert on Fire, 5-for-7 Against San Antonio
Houston third baseman Albert Geisert had a big day at Mission Grounds against the San Antonio Vaqueros. The 30-year-old, who is not typically considered a big threat with the bat, went 5-for-7 and led to the 27-6 Eagles triumph over San Antonio.

"Hey, I'm as surprised as you guys are," Geisert 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."

Albert Geisert hit an RBI triple in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, struck out in the 4th, walked in the 7th, doubled in the 8th and flied out in the 9th.

This season, Geisert is hitting at a .314 pace with 2 home runs, 63 RBIs and has scored 120 times.
