Heyward Slams 5 Hits for Kansas City
Getting 5 hits in a game has always been memorable feat in baseball. In the Kansas City's 9-4 win over Philadelphia, second baseman John Heyward was red-hot, scorching them for hit after hit at Stockyard Grounds.

"To hit the ball consistently well, you have to relax," Heyward said afterward. "I was relaxed for the first four hits, but I have to admit, I got a little tight when I realized I had a chance for five. On the last at-bat, I was ready to swing at anything close."

John Heyward tripled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, doubled in the 4th, singled in the 6th and hit an RBI single in the 8th.

To date Heyward has chalked up a .357 average with no home runs, driven in 11 runs and scored 8 times.
