5-for-6 Day for Rada
It was a parade of hits for Nelson Rada of the Asheville Aviators at Hurricanes Ballpark.

Connecting with regularity, Rada finished the day with a total of 5 hits in 6 at-bats, but the Hurricanes rose to the occasion and rained on his parade by winning the game, 15-14.

"Rada was really good, we were just a little better," said Hurricanes manager in the postgame interview. "It's all right with me if he gets 5 hits every game against us, as long as we win."

Nelson Rada singled in the 1st, was hit by a pitch in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, grounded out in the 5th, singled in the 7th, doubled in the 8th and singled in the 10th.


This year, Rada is batting .476 with no home runs. He has scored 6 runs and driven in 2.
