Great Day for Wilson -- 5 Hits
Speaking with reporters after a dominating hitting performance, Chris Wilson said his club's tilt with the Chicago N (AZL) Cubs "felt almost like batting practice." The 19-year-old first baseman went a remarkable 5-for-5 at the plate.

"I saw the ball well and could just about hit it anywhere I wanted," he recalled later.

However, his sensational day wasn't enough for the Texas (AZL) Rangers, who were topped by the Cubs, 11-8.

"It's a good lesson for him, I guess," Rangers manager Steven Santana said. "Sometimes Chris is going to lose. But I would rather him go 5-for-5 and lose than go 0-for-5 and lose."

Chris Wilson singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, walked in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

So far this year, Wilson is batting .418 with 8 home runs and 28 RBIs.
