Masoner on Fire: 5-for-5 for Libertyville
It was a parade of hits for Josh Masoner of the Libertyville Polecats at Greensboro Grounds.

Connecting almost every time he went to the plate, Masoner finished the day with a total of 5 hits in 5 at-bats. His strong individual effort propelled the Polecats to a win, 15-2.

"Masoner was really good and we were really bad," groaned Bears manager Zach Hildebrant. "Next time he's that hot, we'll just walk him."

Josh Masoner singled in the 3rd, doubled in the 5th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 7th, hit a three-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 8th and walked in a run in the 9th.

So far this season, Masoner is batting .375 with 1 home run, 7 RBIs and 6 runs scored. He has 9 hits in 24 at-bats, 3 walks and a .429 OBP. Masoner has played in 8 games.
