5-Hit Blitz by Richins
It doesn't happen very often, but it did for John Richins -- a 5-hit effort. He went on a rampage at Ballpark of White Deer and paced the 8-5 Tropics win over the Lake Elsinore Storm.

After his dynamite batting performance, the White Deer second baseman told reporters that he "just tried to get in a good count and have a good at-bat. That's all I can control."

His philosophy paid dividends today. He slammed 5 hits in 5 tries and put his name in the record book. John Richins hit a solo-shot off Jim Unknown in the 2nd, hit an RBI double in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and doubled in the 8th.

This year, Richins is hitting .256 with 15 home runs.
