Benson Tags Cubs for 5 Hits
Dave Benson of the Grizzlies was unstoppable in his team's 16-3 victory over the Iowa Cubs at Chukchansi Park. He battered them for 5 hits in 5 at-bats.

"Boy, I was on the mark today," said the Fresno shortstop after the game. "I could see the ball real well. It's a great feeling to do this. And besides, 5-for-5 won't hurt your batting average like 0-for-5 will."

Dave Benson singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, walked in the 4th, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off Bob Gibson in the 8th.

This season, Benson is batting .326 with 31 hits, 3 home runs, 13 RBIs, .407 OBP and has scored 13 runs.
