Great Day for Burling -- 5 Hits
Indianapolis shortstop William Burling had a big day at Laclede Park against the St. Louis Sports. The 31-year-old, who is not typically considered a big threat with the bat, went 5-for-7 and led to the 22-5 Regulators triumph over St. Louis.

"Hey, I'm as surprised as you guys are," Burling said in his postgame comments, smiling as he scolded the press corps for underestimating him. "Maybe I'm not so bad at the plate after all."

William Burling singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI double in the 7th, flied out in the 8th, walked in the 9th and grounded out in the 9th.

In 59 games Burling is hitting .271 this season with 49 hits, 1 home run, 13 RBIs, 13 walks, .337 OBP and has scored 24 runs.
