It was a parade of hits for Sam Montrose of the Toledo Mudcats at Livestock Grounds.

Connecting almost every time he went to the plate, Montrose finished the day with a total of 5 hits in 6 at-bats. His strong individual effort propelled the Mudcats to a win, 11-4.

"Montrose was really good and we were really bad," groaned Stockmen manager Josh Kershaw. "Next time he's that hot, we'll just walk him."

Sam Montrose singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, flied out in the 6th, singled in the 7th and tripled in the 9th.
