Gratta on Fire: 5-for-6 for Buckeye Local
It doesn't happen very often, but it did for Nick Gratta -- a 5-hit effort. He went on a rampage at Sled Dogs Ballpark and paced the 17-5 Panthers win over the Juneau Sled Dogs.

After his dynamite batting performance, the Buckeye Local first 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 6 tries and put his name in the record book. Nick Gratta singled in the 1st, hit a GRAND SLAM off Adrian Leal in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, flied out in the 4th, singled in the 6th, walked in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

This year, Gratta is batting .444 with 78 home runs and 175 RBIs.
