 | Monday, October 3rd, 1977: Fuentes Tags Bears 5 Hits
5 hits in a game doesn't happen every day. Houston's Tito Fuentes had a very special day against the Bears when everything came together for him and he did just that -- collected 5 hits in 5 at-bats -- and led the Houston Razorbacks to a 17-7 win at The Hunting Grounds.
"I'm just out there to try and help the team win," Fuentes said after the game, "I had some real good at-bats today. I made good, solid contact and luckily no one caught 'em."
T. Fuentes hit a two-run single in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI double in the 5th, hit a two-run single in the 6th and hit a two-run home run off T. Murphy in the 8th.
In 1977 Fuentes is batting .330 with 3 home runs and 45 RBIs.
