Santana Batters Fort Myers for 5 Hits
Brevard County Manatees left fielder Rico Santana had a day to remember at Space Coast Stadium, ripping apart the Fort Myers Miracle and sparking the 8-4 Manatees win.

Santana wrote his name in the record books with a 5-hit barrage, finishing his special day 5-for-5.

"I'm usually a first ball hitter," Santana told BNN reporters in the postgame press conference. "I think pitchers think batters are going to let the first one go by. I never do. I've always found that it's better to pull the trigger early in the count. Pitchers get real nasty when they get ahead of you, so I try to avoid it."

Rico Santana doubled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, doubled in the 6th and doubled in the 8th.

Santana is currently hitting at a .345 pace with 6 home runs and 18 RBIs.
