Ernandez Slams 5 Hits for Pensacola
A jubilant Paco Ernandez joined the postgame press conference at Blue Wahoos Stadium to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Birmingham Barons pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the Pensacola Blue Wahoos center fielder, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different."

That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-5 hitting performance, which led to the 7-4 Blue Wahoos win.

"He made it look easy," said , manager of the Barons. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."

Paco Ernandez singled in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, tripled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and hit a three-run home run off Hirohisa Takahashi in the 9th.

Currently Ernandez is batting .289 with 21 home runs and 80 RBIs.
