Blankenship Bangs Out 5 Base Hits
It wasn't just another day at the ballpark for Matt Blankenship. Blankenship went on a tear and cracked hit after hit off Buckeye Local pitchers. When the dust settled on the diamond at Cincinnati Grounds, he had a 5-for-6 line and a day he will long remember. And the Riverside Wolverines had a win, 16-1, over the Panthers.

"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.

Matt Blankenship singled in the 2nd, hit a two-run double in the 3rd, singled in the 6th, singled in the 7th, flied out in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.

Blankenship is hitting .442 for the season with no home runs, 14 RBIs and 10 runs scored. He has 23 hits in 52 at-bats and played in 15 games.
