| Breaking News |  | Wednesday, July 23rd, 2025: Mays Torches Volts for 5 Hits
It was a big day with the bat for Walter Mays of the Branchville Rhinoceroses at Ballpark of Branchville as he bashed out hit after hit after hit to defeat Glendale 10-3.
To the press after the ballgame he modestly said, "Guys, it's just one game in a long season. I hit it hard and found some holes today -- Bingo! -- 5 hits in 5 tries! But my hits are not the big thing in the game. The victory is the important thing. That's the story."
At the end of the game Mays had collected 5 hits in 5 at-bats and a small mention in the record book. He was happy. He had a big day with the bat. And the Rhinoceroses had won.
The beat writers were happy, too. They had their big story -- they could write about his big day with the bat.
W. Mays hit an RBI double in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, hit a two-run double in the 3rd, singled in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off J. Dalton in the 8th.
This season-to-date Mays has 6 home runs and a .276 batting average.
