Franco Batters Akron for 5 Hits
No matter what the Akron RubberDucks threw at him, José Franco hit it. He easily handled RubberDucks pitching, going 5 for 6 and helping the Flying Squirrels triumph, 17-2, at Canal Park.

"The way I was swinging, I think I could have closed my eyes and hit the ball," he told BNN reporters in the postgame interview.

Told of Franco's quip, RubberDucks skipper Keith Johnson said he "would take him up on that next time."

José Franco singled in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 3rd, hit an RBI double in the 5th, singled in the 6th, walked in the 7th, hit an RBI single in the 8th and flied out in the 9th.
