Gothams Hamilton Smacks 5 Hits
Getting 5 hits in a game has always been memorable feat in baseball. In the New York's 9-8 win over Baltimore, shortstop Sam Hamilton was red-hot, scorching them for hit after hit at Patapsco Field.

"To hit the ball consistently well, you have to relax," Hamilton said afterward. "I was relaxed for the first four hits, but I have to admit, I got a little tight when I realized I had a chance for five. On the last at-bat, I was ready to swing at anything close."

Sam Hamilton doubled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, doubled in the 4th, singled in the 6th and singled in the 8th.

Hamilton is currently batting .342 with 8 home runs and 46 RBIs.
