Merz Goes 5-for-5 Against Moss Beach
5 hits in a game is generally considered a noteworthy achievement, but for Graig Merz, it felt rather hollow.

The 20-year-old went 5-for-5 at the plate at Frontierland Park today, but his Miami Matadors fell to the Moss Beach Mosquitos, 8-6.

"It's hard to get too excited," the third baseman told BNN following the game. "After a game like this, everyone's quiet and they just want to go home."

Graig Merz doubled in the 1st, doubled in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

Thus far this season in 64 games Merz is batting .281 with 13 home runs, 49 RBIs and 49 runs scored. He has 75 hits in 267 at-bats.
