Higgins Sensational, 5-for-5
Matt Higgins put on a hitting clinic as the Jacksonville Nationals dumped the Sunrise Manor Sunchasers, 14-2, at Nationals Park.

The Jacksonville second baseman made Sunrise Manor defenders earn their pay, lashing Sunrise Manor pitching for 5 hits in 5 at-bats in the game. He told BNN reporters after the game that his strategy was "just hit it where they pitched it."

"Too often I try too hard to pull the ball," Higgins said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch."

Matt Higgins singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Cory Singer in the 6th, singled in the 7th and walked in the 8th.

So far on the season, Higgins is hitting .463 with 15 home runs, 52 RBIs and 75 runs scored. He has 132 hits and played in 62 games.
