Who needs batting practice? Steven Hemingway of Waxahachie apparently doesn't as he battered Carman with a 5-hit outburst in today's game to lead his club to a 12-4 win.
He told the press after the game, "And I didn't even take BP today. I think I have been taking too many swings before game and decided to take a day off. Wow, this was really something... a 5 for 5 day... will my name be in the record books now?"
S. Hemingway tripled in the 1st, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 4th, singled in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off P. Howard in the 8th.
To date this year Hemingway is batting .279 with 5 home runs.
