Rogearvin Bernadina was on quite a roll today as he knocked the ball all over the park, collecting 5 hits and leading the Senators to a 15-4 victory over the Binghamton Mets.
After the first three hits, all eyes in the ballpark were drawn to him each time he stepped into the batter's box. Even a few of the opposing fans were pulling for him, knowing they were watching a little baseball-hitting history unfold.
In the clubhouse, crowded by reporters, the Harrisburg left fielder said, "I never realized that batting a little ball around could cause so much commotion."

Nobody was at home today as Bernadina finished the day with 5 hits in 6 at-bats and a line in the record book.
R. Bernadina singled in the 1st, struck out in the 2nd, singled in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 6th, singled in the 7th and doubled in the 8th.
Bernadina is hitting .271 in 2008 with 3 home runs, 30 RBIs and 51 runs scored. He has 90 hits in 332 at-bats and played in 86 games.
