Hits Galore: Lucas Drills 5 Hits
Dynamos third baseman Jack Lucas had his way with Atlanta pitching at Peachtree Stadium and mauled them for 5 hits in 5 at-bats. His efforts were all in vain, though, as the Copperheads ruined his great day by toppling the Dynamos, 8-5.

"I had a great day, but you've got to give Atlanta credit, they did what they had to do to win," he told reporters after the game. "They weren't very impressed with my 5 hits."

"Oh, we noticed what Lucas did today," Copperheads skipper Don Fox said. "He had quite a game. I can tell you this, we will pitch him a little differently the next time we face him."

Jack Lucas singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI double in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off Jay Page in the 9th.

On the season, Lucas is batting .292 with 4 home runs and 18 RBIs. He has played in 45 games.
