Morales Blisters Chicago
It was a parade of hits for Guillermo Morales of the Denver Burros at Union Field.

Connecting with regularity, Morales finished the day with a total of 5 hits in 5 at-bats, but the Traders rose to the occasion and rained on his parade by winning the game, 11-4.

"Morales was really good, we were just a little better," said Traders manager Larry Link in the postgame interview. "It's all right with me if he gets 5 hits every game against us, as long as we win."

Guillermo Morales doubled in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th and singled in the 8th.


This year, Morales is hitting .351 with 5 home runs and 48 RBIs in 120 games played. He also boasts an OBP of .410 with 45 walks and 54 runs scored.
