Hits Galore: Squires Drills 5 Hits
Some days you can't win for losing. Just ask Brett Squires -- he was the King of Swing against the Sluggers, but his Fighting Irish were beaten, 9-8, anyway.

The South Bend first baseman had 5 chances against Springfield and delivered 5 hits in a sensational game.

"Unbelievable feeling," he told the press. "It felt great to be hitting like that, but a downer when you look at the scoreboard. 5-for-5 does wonders for your confidence, but it's a shame we couldn't win, too."

Brett Squires hit a three-run home run off John Swanda in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.

This season, Squires is swinging the bat at a .420 pace. He has hit 2 home runs and scored 14 times, while driving in 14. His on-base percentage is .567 and he has played in 13 games.
