Hoàng Socks It to Expos, Cracks 5 Hits
Players get multi-hit games all the time, but 5-hit ones are a whole lot rarer. It happened at Wrigley Field when Liam Hoàng of Chicago scattered 5 hits all over the ballpark against the Montreal Expos.

He went 5-for-5 in a career performance to help the Cubs get by the Expos, 9-2. The left fielder was in a talkative and jovial mood after the game, saying his swing "was really, really there today."

"I made some good, sweet-spot contact and when that happens, good things happen," he said. "You know, like going 5-for-5. I could get used to days like this."

Liam Hoàng hit a solo-shot off Samson Madrigal in the 1st, tripled in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off Pedro Sánchez in the 8th.

For the season, Hoàng is currently batting .313 with 18 home runs and 69 RBIs. In 118 games he has reached base at a .406 rate and scored 113 runs to date.
