Jacob Strokes 5 Hits
5 times is the charm -- at least for David Jacob.

The Merced Marines first baseman tore up the Lancaster Jets to the tune of 5 hits in 7 at-bats at Marines Ballpark. The offensive onslaught from Jacob powered the 6-5 Marines win.

"Jacob was a tough out," Lancaster manager said to the press in the postgame interview. "He hit some very good pitches with that quick bat of his. Not an easy out, that's for sure."

David Jacob hit a solo-shot off Ethan Bosacker in the 1st, flied out in the 2nd, walked in the 5th, struck out in the 7th, singled in the 9th, singled in the 11th, singled in the 13th and hit an RBI single in the 14th.

This year, Jacob is batting .346 with 1 home run. He has scored 3 runs and driven in 3.
