5-Hit Blitz by Los Angeles's Burke
5 hits in a game is a rare thing, but Los Angeles's Bill Burke made it happen against the Miners. Everything came together at the plate for the 28-year-old third baseman as he collected 5 hits in 5 at-bats -- and helped the Suns triumph, 10-6, at Fitzpatrick Park.

"I'm just out there to try and help the team win," Burke said after the game, "I had some real good at-bats. I made good, solid contact and luckily no one caught 'em."

Bill Burke singled in the 2nd, doubled in the 3rd, hit a two-run double in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and doubled in the 9th.
