Players get multi-hit games all the time. But a 5-hit game only comes around once in a blue moon. It happened at RFK Stadium when Evelio Pascua of Washington scattered 5 hits all over the ballpark against the Oakland Athletics.
He walloped 5 hits in 5 at-bats in his career-day performance to help the Nationals get by the Athletics 8-4.
In a talkative and jovial mood after the game, the second baseman of the Nationals exclaimed, "Whoa, my swing was really, really there today. I made some good, sweet-spot contact and when that happens...good things happen...like 5-5. I could get used to a lot of days like this one."
E. Pascua singled in the 2nd, doubled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 8th and singled in the 9th.
Thus far this year Pascua is batting .275 with 3 home runs, 22 RBIs and 29 runs scored.
