| Breaking News |  | Friday, July 15th, 2011: Pittman on Fire, 5-5 Against Visalia
Players get multi-hit games all the time. But a 5-hit game only comes around once in a blue moon. It happened at Lake Elsinore Diamond when Colt Pittman of Lake Elsinore scattered 5 hits all over the ballpark against the Visalia Oaks.
He walloped 5 hits in 5 at-bats in his career-day performance to help the Storm get by the Oaks 5-3.
In a talkative and jovial mood after the game, the second baseman of the Storm exclaimed, "Whoa, my swing was really, really there today. I made some good, sweet-spot contact and when that happens...good things happen...like 5-5. I could get used to a lot of days like this one."
C. Pittman singled in the 1st, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 6th, singled in the 7th and doubled in the 9th.
This year Pittman is hitting .317 with 102 hits, 9 home runs, 60 RBIs and has scored 55 runs.
