Sanders Sensational, 5-for-5
Chris Sanders really sizzled at the plate in his team's 13-5 win over the Tampa Capitals. The Huntsville second baseman blistered Tampa for 5 hits in 5 at-bats.

"Sanders was too tough to get out today," the Capitals skipper said in the postgame interview. "No matter what we threw him, he hit it. And he hit some good pitches, too."

Chris Sanders singled in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Danny Villa in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Jonathan Gutierrez in the 4th, singled in the 6th and singled in the 7th.

So far this season, Sanders is hitting .280 with 2 home runs, 3 RBIs and 3 runs scored. He has 7 hits in 25 at-bats and a .333 OBP.
