Dillon on Fire, 5-for-5 Against Indianapolis
It doesn't happen very often, but it did for Ashton Dillon -- a 5-hit day. He went on a rampage and sparkled on the diamond at Ken Griffey Jr. Plaza, but the performance lost a little luster when the Firebirds were downed, 9-7, by the Indianapolis Ambition.

After his glittering performance, the Albany right fielder told the press that he "just tried to get myself in a good count and have a good at-bat."

His batting theory paid dividends today as he slammed 5 hits in 5 tries and put his name in the record book.

"I just wish we had added a win in the record book, too," Dillon said.

Ashton Dillon hit a two-run home run off Leo Kirk in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Leo Kirk in the 3rd, doubled in the 5th, doubled in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

Dillon is currently batting .389 with 22 home runs and 59 RBIs.
