Today at The Boom Box, Chris Payne put on an impressive display.

The Illinois Warhawks left fielder tagged Washington pitching for 5 hits in 5 at-bats, but his teammates were unable to capitalize on the spree and lost the game to the Washington Resonance by the score of 9-8.

"The loss takes some of the joy out of it, but I'll take it," Payne said. "5-for-5 ain't bad in any league."

Despite the terrific performance, the Warhawks manager was unwilling to offer his left fielder much praise, saying he holds his "whole roster" accountable for losses.

"Chris told me 'Coach, I had 5 hits' and I said 'Well that's great, but it looks like we needed one more from you,'" manager Paul Nicholls said.

Chris Payne singled in the 1st, doubled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 7th and doubled in the 8th.

Payne is currently hitting at a .366 pace with 10 home runs, 31 RBIs and has scored 46 times.
