Reina Sizzles -- Smokes Naturals for 5 Hits
Waco right fielder Francisco Reina had a day to remember, 5-for-6 against the Greensboro Naturals at Naturals Grounds as the Warlocks picked up a win, 14-9.

"He was patient up there," Waco skipper Mike Schwartz told the press after the game. "I like the way he waited for his pitch and wasn't overly aggressive. Reina has a tendency to chase bad balls sometimes."

Francisco Reina hit an RBI single in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, grounded out in the 5th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 8th and hit a two-run double in the 9th.

This season, Reina is batting at a .352 clip with 10 home runs and 58 RBIs.
