5 Hits for Alpines Fitzgerald
5 hits in a game is a rare thing, but Savannah's Mike Fitzgerald made it happen against the Fighting Knights. Everything came together at the plate for the 21-year-old first baseman as he collected 5 hits in 5 at-bats -- and helped the Alpines triumph, 8-6, at Alpines Stadium.

"I'm just out there to try and help the team win," Fitzgerald said after the game, "I had some real good at-bats. I made good, solid contact and luckily no one caught 'em."

Mike Fitzgerald singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 8th.

Currently Fitzgerald is hitting .318 and has collected 8 home runs, 17 RBIs and scored 23 times, while playing in 32 games.
