Big Day with Bat: Ward 5-for-6
There aren't many who could be pro ballplayers and there are even fewer who could put up 5 hits in a day.

Lew Ward is one of those rare few, as he went 5-for-6 against the Washington Eagles at Monument Field. The monster effort from the 24-year-old right fielder helped the Pittsburgh Industrials get the win, 16-1.

"We made some bad pitches and he took advantage of it," said Eagles manager Juan Placeholder. "That's the game, though. Don't make mistakes and you'll win ballgames. Make mistakes and, well, you saw what happened today."

Lew Ward singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, grounded out in the 5th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 7th and hit a two-run double in the 9th.

Ward is currently batting .231 with 5 home runs and 28 RBIs.
