Morris Belts Bunch of Base Hits
There aren't many who could be pro ballplayers and there are even fewer who could put up 5 hits in a day.

Braxton Morris is one of those rare few, as he went 5-for-6 against the Tacoma Thunder Wolves at Thunder Wolves Stadium. The monster effort from the 21-year-old center fielder helped the Newport Unicorns get the win, 20-6.

"We made some bad pitches and he took advantage of it," said Thunder Wolves manager Alfonso Estrada. "That's the game, though. Don't make mistakes and you'll win ballgames. Make mistakes and, well, you saw what happened today."

Braxton Morris singled in the 1st, grounded out in the 2nd, hit a two-run double in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, walked in the 6th, singled in the 8th and singled in the 9th.

So far this season, Morris is batting .424 with 1 home run.
