5-for-7 Game for Branch
There aren't many who could be pro ballplayers and there are even fewer who could put up 5 hits in a day.

Kolby Branch is one of those rare few, as he went 5-for-7 against the Delmarva Shorebirds at Arthur W. Perdue Stadium. The monster effort from the 23-year-old shortstop helped the Lynchburg Hillcats get the win, 16-2.

"We made some bad pitches and he took advantage of it," said Shorebirds manager Collin Woody. "That's the game, though. Don't make mistakes and you'll win ballgames. Make mistakes and, well, you saw what happened today."

Kolby Branch struck out in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, struck out in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 5th, singled in the 7th, hit a three-run home run off Jeyderson Mora in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.

Branch is currently hitting .265 with 8 home runsand 36 RBIs, while scoring 38 runs.
