Hit Parade: Woods Pops 5 Hits
Hartford Blue Coats right fielder Harry Woods banged out 5 hits, but it was not enough to keep his club from succumbing to the Baltimore Tars, 17-7. He went 5-for-6 and raised his batting average a few points.

"If the hits keep coming," an upbeat Woods said after the game, "the runs will too. And, more importantly, so will the wins."

Harry Woods struck out in the 1st, tripled in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

This season, Woods has hit 5 home runs and posted a .405 batting average.
