McRae Raps Chicago for 5 Hits
5 hits in a game is a rare thing, but Atlanta's Mike McRae made it happen against the Hawks. Everything came together at the plate for the 25-year-old left fielder as he collected 5 hits in 6 at-bats -- and helped the Generals triumph, 11-10, at Hyde Park Stadium.

"I'm just out there to try and help the team win," McRae said after the game, "I had some real good at-bats. I made good, solid contact and luckily no one caught 'em."

Mike McRae singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, grounded out in the 5th, hit a three-run home run off Byron Creasey in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

In 113 games this season, McRae has compiled a .303 batting average with 131 hits and 6 home runs. He has also scored 66 times and knocked in 37 runs.
