5-Hit Blitz by Johannesburg's Willets
5 times is the charm -- at least for Ian Willets.

The Johannesburg Freedom first baseman tore up the Pretoria Rhinos to the tune of 5 hits in 5 at-bats at Pretoria Field today. The offensive onslaught from Willets powered the Freedom to a 11-4 win.

"Willets was a tough out today," Pretoria manager Fred Hernández said to the press in the postgame interview. "He hit some very good pitches with that quick bat of his. Not an easy out, that's for sure."

Ian Willets walked in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Doug Maynard in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit a three-run home run off Carl Mobley in the 5th, doubled in the 7th and singled in the 8th.

This season Willets is swinging the bat at a .273 pace. He has hit 14 home runs and scored 37 times, while driving in 34. His on-base percentage is .353 and he has played in 49 games.
