Accola Sizzles -- Smokes Silver Hawks for 5 Hits Sunday, July 5th , 2071 It's not something you read about in the sports pages every day -- a 5-for-5 day. For many, it might come around only once in a career -- and for Laurente Accola, it came around today. The 22-year-old second baseman scattered hits all over Stanley Coveleski Regional Stadium to pace the 6-5 Bradenton Juice victory over the South Bend Silver Hawks. South Bend skipper Otik Kunert told reporters in the press room that "Accola deserves a hat-tip." "He hit some good pitches against us," he said. "In fact, according to our scouting reports, Accola hit several that he is not supposed to be able to hit." Laurente Accola hit a solo-shot off Víctor Navarro in the 1st, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th. This year, Accola is hitting .346, produced 9 RBIs and 2 home runs, scored 12 times and gotten on base at a .441 rate. View Boxscore |
