Andrews Sensational, 5-for-5
5 hits in a game is a rare thing, but Des Moines's Sam Andrews made it happen against the Knights. Everything came together at the plate for the 31-year-old catcher as he collected 5 hits in 5 at-bats -- and helped the Pioneers triumph, 14-5, at Honor Field.

"I'm just out there to try and help the team win," Andrews said after the game, "I had some real good at-bats. I made good, solid contact and luckily no one caught 'em."

Sam Andrews hit an RBI triple in the 1st, walked in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 8th.

For the season, Andrews is hitting at a .336 clip with 4 home runs, 60 RBIs and has scored 56 runs. He has 86 hits, 27 walks and a .395 on-base percentage.
