Cozart Socks It to Lugnuts, Cracks 5 Hits
Today at Cooley Law School Stadium, Joe Cozart put on an impressive display.

The Lexington Legends third baseman tagged Lansing pitching for 5 hits in 5 at-bats, but his teammates were unable to capitalize on the spree and lost the game to the Lansing Lugnuts by the score of 10-4.

"The loss takes some of the joy out of it, but I'll take it," Cozart said. "5-for-5 ain't bad in any league."

Despite the terrific performance, the Legends manager was unwilling to offer the third baseman much praise, saying the "whole roster" is held accountable for losses.

"Joe told me 'Coach, I had 5 hits' and I said 'Well that's great, but it looks like we needed one more from you,'" manager Luis Rosario said.

Joe Cozart doubled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Ben Knapp in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Danny Cervantes in the 9th.


For the season Cozart has hit .375 with 3 home runs and 4 RBIs. He has played in 8 games and scored 4 times.
