Super Swinger -- Rucelli Slams 5 Hits
It's not something you read about in the sports pages every day -- a 5-for-6 day. For many, it might come around only once in a career -- and for Gianpaolo Rucelli, it came around today.

The 25-year-old first baseman scattered hits all over Victory Field to pace the 10-2 Durham Bulls victory over the Indianapolis Indians.

Indianapolis skipper Alberto Callaspo told reporters in the press room that "Rucelli deserves a hat-tip."

"He hit some good pitches against us," he said. "In fact, according to our scouting reports, Rucelli hit several that he is not supposed to be able to hit."

Gianpaolo Rucelli singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI double in the 5th, doubled in the 6th, struck out in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.

This season, Rucelli is batting at a .452 clip with no home runs and 5 RBIs.
