Nielsen Cracks 5 Hits
It was a sensational day at the plate for Travis Nielsen as he led the charge to a nifty 9-7 win over the Birds. The Honolulu right fielder was pure misery for the Cincinnati pitching staff. He left them shell-shocked with 5 hits in 5 at-bats in an explosive display of hitting.

"Nielsen put the ball into play and he really hit it hard," said , manager for the Birds, after the game. "When you do that, you've got a good chance to do some damage. And that's what happened. I feel like we threw some good pitches, but he just put some good swings on the ball."

Travis Nielsen singled in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Tony Velazquez in the 5th, doubled in the 6th and hit a two-run double in the 7th.

Nielsen is hitting .329 this year with 4 home runs, 29 RBIs and 20 runs scored. He has 82 hits in 249 at-bats, 16 walks and a .369 on-base percentage. Nielsen has played in 74 games.
