5-Hit Blitz by Kennedy
Even as a kid, Matt Kennedy said his coaches told him the key to hitting was making contact, and letting everything else flow from there. At Dehler Park today, Kennedy showed how well he learned that lesson.

The 24-year-old left fielder had 5 hits in 5 at-bats for the Billings Mustangs, helping his team knock off the Chicago (APP) Cubs by a score of 36-11.

"They always said, just keep your eye on the ball, don't overswing, make contact and you never know what will happen," he said. "That's all I did today."

Matt Kennedy hit a solo-shot off Dwight Bean in the 1st, hit a three-run home run off Angel Pesina in the 3rd, hit a three-run home run off Jose Mata in the 3rd, walked in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Andy Baumhardt in the 5th, was hit by a pitch in the 7th and hit a three-run triple in the 8th.
