Saturday, August 9th, 1997: Griffith Bangs Out 5 Base Hits
Andrew Griffith was on quite a roll today as he knocked the ball all over the park, collecting 5 hits and leading the Hillbillies to a 10-4 victory over the Jeffersonville Jammers.

After the first three hits, all eyes in the ballpark were drawn to him each time he stepped into the batter's box. Even a few of the opposing fans were pulling for him, knowing they were watching a little baseball-hitting history unfold.

In the clubhouse, crowded by reporters, the Higginsville center fielder said, "I never realized that batting a little ball around could cause so much commotion." When asked what the secret of hitting so well is, he smiled and replied, "The key to hitting for a high average is to relax, concentrate and hit the ball where they ain't."

Nobody was at home today as Griffith finished the day with 5 hits in 5 at-bats and a line in the record book.

A. Griffith singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 5th and hit a solo-shot off E. McGinnity in the 7th.

Griffith is currently batting .323 with 3 home runs and 22 RBIs.
