5 Hits for Vulcans Baker
It doesn't happen very often, but it did for Joe Baker today -- a 5-hit effort. He went on a rampage at Vulcans Park and paced the Vulcans to a 13-5 win over the Raleigh Explorers.

After his dynamite batting performance, the Birmingham catcher told reporters that he "just tried to get in a good count and have a good at-bat. That's all I can control."

His philosophy paid dividends today. He slammed 5 hits in 5 tries and put his name in the record book. Joe Baker singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 8th.

Baker is hitting .294 this season with 7 home runs, 63 RBIs and 49 runs scored. He has 119 hits in 405 at-bats.
