5-Hit Barrage by Mendez
It was almost a perfect day for Leo Mendez.

The Cincinnati first baseman displayed a hot bat, enjoying an outstanding 5-hit day, but something was missing: The Bombardiers lost to the London Tigers, 7-5. Mendez told BNN reporters after the game that luck was "fickle."

Cincinnati manager Carlos Almendarez told the beat writers otherwise.

"There was no luck today," the skipper said. "He got 5 hits because he has a solid approach to hitting and he put it all together, and we lost because the rest of us didn't put it together so well."

Leo Mendez singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

Looking at his present stats, Mendez has compiled a .365 batting average in 13 games with a .377 on-base percentage, while hitting no home runs and driving in 1 runs.
