McNeil Bashes 5 Base Hits
There aren't many who could be pro ballplayers and there are even fewer who could put up 5 hits in a day.

Jeff McNeil is one of those rare few, as he went 5-for-5 against the Chicago Explorers at Fan's Ballyard. The monster effort from the 33-year-old second baseman helped the Oakland Roses get the win, 13-8.

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

Jeff McNeil hit an RBI single in the 1st, singled in the 1st, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th and doubled in the 8th.

McNeil is hitting .375 this year with 3 home runs, 6 RBIs and 16 runs scored. He has 15 hits in 40 at-bats, 2 walks and a .432 on-base percentage. McNeil has played in 19 games.
