Red-Hot Black Scorches Royals
It's not something you read about in the sports pages every day -- a 5-for-6 day. For many, it might come around only once in a career -- and for Matt Black, it came around today.

The 23-year-old third baseman scattered hits all over Burlington Athletic Stadium to pace the Oakland (APP) Athletics to a 28-0 victory over the Burlington Royals.

Burlington skipper Henry Villar told reporters in the press room that "Black deserves a hat-tip."

"He hit some good pitches against us," he said. "In fact, according to our scouting reports, Black hit several that he is not supposed to be able to hit."

Matt Black hit a two-run home run off Tim Tucker in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Ken Milhouse in the 3rd, hit a three-run home run off Tony Jimenez in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Joe Adelmann in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Hyoji Kawabata in the 5th, grounded out in the 6th and walked in the 8th.

On the season, Black is batting .380 with 25 home runs and 51 RBIs. He has played in 28 games.
