Big Day with Bat: Lakin 5-for-5
There aren't many who could be pro ballplayers and there are even fewer who could put up 5 hits in a day.

Linus Lakin is one of those rare few, as he went 5-for-5 against the Parramatta Giants at Paramatta Fields today. The monster effort from the 37-year-old second baseman helped the North Melbourne Kangaroos take the win, 5-1.

"We made some bad pitches and he took advantage of it," said Giants manager Derek Stringer. "That's the game, though. Don't make mistakes and you'll win ballgames. Make mistakes and, well, you saw what happened today."

Linus Lakin singled in the 1st, doubled in the 2nd, hit an RBI double in the 4th, singled in the 6th and doubled in the 8th.

This season Lakin is hitting .232 with 2 home runs.
