Montrose 5-for-6 for Mudcats
There was no storybook ending. Sam Montrose of the Toledo Mudcats socked it to the visiting Kansas City Stockmen with a terrific 5-hit game, but his team didn't get the win. The Mudcats fell, 10-9, at Ironhook Grounds.

"I don't want to sound ungrateful, but something is missing here," Montrose complained following the loss. "When you have a great game you should win the game, too."

He definitely had an unforgettable day in the batter's box, ripping out 5 hits in 6 at-bats. Toledo manager Gustavo Rodriguez sympathized with his catcher, telling BNN reporters after the game that "Sam played a whale of a game, but sometimes individual brilliance is not enough."

Sam Montrose singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, grounded out in the 5th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 8th and singled in the 9th.
