Big Day for McDonald: Swats 5 Hits
A jubilant Dave McDonald joined the postgame press conference at The Cornfield to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Iowa Crop Circles pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the Philadelphia Cheesesteaks shortstop, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different."

That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-6 hitting performance, which led to the 11-3 Cheesesteaks win.

"He made it look easy," said Andy Ward, manager of the Crop Circles. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."

Dave McDonald grounded out in the 1st, doubled in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th and singled in the 8th.
