Red-Hot Grant Scorches Bowties
Friday, July 25th, 2036
Jake Grant was on quite a roll today as he knocked the ball all over 5 Paces Park, collecting 5 hits. His day of glory wasn't able to win the game, however. The Buckhead Bowties got the 7-6 victory over the Philadelphia 1776 BC.

"I never realized that a few hits could cause so much commotion," the left fielder said in the clubhouse after the game, crowded by reporters. "Headlines and highlights are great, but it takes a lot of luster off it that we lost."

After his first couple of hits, all eyes in the ballpark were on him each time Grant stepped into the batter's box. Even some opposing fans were pulling for him, knowing they were watching a little slice of baseball history unfold.

When asked what the secret of hitting so well is, he smiled and said "relax, concentrate, and hit the ball where they ain't."

That's exactly what he did today, as Grant finished the game with 5 hits in 6 at-bats and a line in the record book. Jake Grant doubled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, struck out in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.

To date this year Grant is batting .265 with 3 home runs.
