Big Day for Barker: Swats 5 Hits
Don Barker had an answer for everything the Minneapolis Millers threw at him at Hennepin County Stadium. The Chicago third baseman went 5-for-6 in the game to put his name in the record book and give the Chiefs a win, 12-9.

Summing up his batting philosophy to BNN writers after the game, Barker said, "I just see the ball and I hit it."

Don Barker singled in the 1st, flied out in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 5th, hit a two-run single in the 6th, singled in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.

For the season, Barker has produced 138 hits in 476 at-bats for a .290 average with 2 home runs and gotten on base at a .326 clip.
