Hit Parade: Smith Pops 5 Hits
Getting 5 hits in a game has always been memorable feat in baseball. In the Houston's 8-1 win over St. Louis today, left fielder Zail Smith was red-hot, scorching them for hit after hit at Busch Stadium 1973.

"To hit the ball consistently well, you have to relax," Smith said afterward. "I was relaxed for the first four hits, but I have to admit, I got a little tight when I realized I had a chance for five. On the last at-bat, I was ready to swing at anything close."

Zail Smith singled in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Tom Candiotti in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, tripled in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off David Melendez in the 8th.

Smith is batting .291 this year with 32 home runs, 75 RBIs and 70 runs scored. He has 101 hits in 347 at-bats.
