5-Hit Blitz by Birmingham's Ballard
Wednesday, August 30th , 2056
Birmingham left fielder Chet Ballard had a big day at Vulcans Park today against the Toronto Blue Jays. The 26-year-old, who is not typically considered a big threat with the bat, went 5-for-7 and led the Vulcans to a 7-6 triumph over Toronto.

"Hey, I'm as surprised as you guys are," Ballard 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."

Chet Ballard flied out in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off Freddy Pagán in the 6th, singled in the 8th, flied out in the 10th and hit a solo-shot off Jon Morgan in the 12th.

For the season Ballard has produced 31 hits in 81 at-bats for a .383 average with 2 home runs and gotten on base at a .420 clip.
