Kleman Batters New York Big Time
Some moments become linked with a particular player's career forever. Joe Kleman of the Boston Minutemen had one of those moments when he went 5-for-5 at the plate in his team's 12-6 win over the New York Gothams at Minuteman Stadium.

"I won't forget this anytime soon, and I don't expect it to happen too often," the 23-year-old shortstop told reporters in the postgame interview. "I'll be happy to just get a hit or two every day. Enough to hang around the league a while longer. Like 10, maybe 15 more years."

Joe Kleman singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th, singled in the 6th and singled in the 7th.

This year, Kleman is batting .315 with 3 home runs.
