Thursday, April 25th, 2013: McDowell Goes 5-5
William McDowell was on quite a roll today as he knocked the ball all over the park, collecting 5 hits and leading the Gold Sox to a 16-7 victory over the Sharon Beauties.

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 Avon right 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 McDowell finished the day with 5 hits in 5 at-bats and a line in the record book.

W. McDowell hit an RBI single in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI double in the 5th, hit a three-run home run off J. Unknown in the 7th and walked in the 8th.

This year McDowell is batting .363 with 4 home runs and 25 RBIs. In 22 games he has scored 19 times.
