5-Hit Blitz by Crofts
The Greensboro Grasshoppers stopped the South Bend Cubs by a score of 15-0 at Four Winds Field at Coveleski Stadium today, with the lion's share of the credit going to first baseman Nate Crofts. The 24-year-old had a career day, collecting 5 hits.

"Every batter wants to have a quality at-bat every time he steps up to the plate," Crofts said later. "He wants to hit the ball hard."

Crofts did just that in his 6 at-bats, much to the chagrin of the Cubs.

"Not much that I can say," offered South Bend manager Tim Tebow. "He just hammered the heck out of us."

Nate Crofts doubled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, doubled in the 4th, struck out in the 5th, singled in the 8th and singled in the 9th.

Crofts is batting at a .327 pace this season, picking up 37 hits in 113 at-bats with 4 home runs, 14 RBIs and 14 runs scored.
