Chuluota's Blanks Goes Ballistic with 5 Hits
Nick Blanks was at the head of a Chuluota hit parade at Imperials Ballpark. The left fielder went to the plate 5 times and came away with 5 hits, sparking the Imperials to a nice 15-4 victory over the Buckeye Local Panthers.

"I told the guys in the dugout, just be thinking about hitting the ball hard somewhere," the sweet-swinging Blanks told reporters after the game. "Seems like it worked out well for us today."

Panthers skipper Seung-soo Chun said later that the club gave up "too much plate."

"Not the way we planned it," he said. "Every hitter in the league will rip you when you do that."

Nick Blanks hit an RBI single in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, doubled in the 5th, walked in the 7th and singled in the 8th.

This year, Blanks is batting .350 with 13 home runs and 82 RBIs.
