Jeffers Goes 5-for-6
It was a big day with the bat for Tom Jeffers of the Reading Red Caps at Charter Oak Field as he bashed out hit after hit after hit to defeat the Hartford Blue Coats, 15-10.

After the game he said, "Guys, it's just one game in a long season. I hit it hard and found some holes. 5 hits in 6 tries. But my hits are not the big thing in the game. The victory is the important thing. That's the story."

At the end of the game Jeffers had collected 5 hits in 6 at-bats and a small mention in the record book. And the Red Caps had won. Tom Jeffers flied out in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 6th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

So far this season, Jeffers is hitting .373 with no home runs.
