5-for-6 Game for van der Wal
St. Louis (GCL) Cardinals catcher David van der Wal had a day to remember at Roger Dean Stadium, ripping apart the New York N (GCL) Mets and sparking the 10-2 Cardinals win.

van der Wal wrote his name in the record books with a 5-hit barrage, finishing his special day 5-for-6.

"I'm usually a first ball hitter," van der Wal 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."

David van der Wal flied out in the 1st, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and singled in the 8th.

van der Wal is hitting .409 so far this season with 12 RBIs and 7 runs scored. He has 18 hits including 3 home runs, 6 walks and .471 OBP.
