Seals 5-for-5 for Niskayuna
It wasn't just another day at the ballpark for Mike Seals. Seals went on a tear and cracked hit after hit off Sikeston pitchers. When the dust settled on the diamond at Shamrocks Park, he had a 5-for-5 line and a day he will long remember. And the Niskayuna Fighting Knights had a win, 26-6, over the Shamrocks.

"Yeah, it'll be something nice to tell the grandkids, but it won't get me a hit tomorrow," he joked in the postgame interview.

Mike Seals singled in the 1st, hit a two-run single in the 2nd, doubled in the 4th, walked in a run in the 4th, singled in the 5th, walked in the 6th and hit a two-run home run off Zach Kyte in the 8th.

This season, Seals has hit 8 home runs and posted a .341 batting average.
