5-Hit Barrage by Smith
Chance Smith really sizzled at the plate in his team's 6-2 win over the Austin Desperados. The Halifax second baseman blistered Austin for 5 hits in 5 at-bats.

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

Chance Smith hit a solo-shot off Jon Cordova in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, doubled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

Smith currently has a .308 batting average with 136 hits, 15 homers, 58 RBIs, 67 runs scored and a .358 OBP.
