Is is unusual for a player to have four RBI in a game, it's not something that happens every day. But on Saturday three players did it. Jevon Ward hit two home runs to get his four RBI.

He was overshadowed by JR Freethy who had four hits and reached base six times. With both those players producing Vancouver won. Buffalo lost. And all of this hitting ignores Grant Rogers who produced another excellent start for New Hampshire.
