Smith Nails 4 Homers Against Minnesota
In what will surely go down as one of the greatest losing performances in league history, Sam Smith of the Savannah Hogs hit 4 home runs yet saw his club defeated by the Minnesota Death Stars.

Smith ravaged Minnesota pitching for a once-in-a-lifetime effort that somehow still wasn't enough to win the game. The Death Stars were victorious, 11-7.

"How do you get 4 home runs in one game and lose it?" he said after the game. "Honestly, I'm in a daze."

In the game, he went 4-for-4 with 4 runs scored and 7 RBIs.

"What he did was unbelievable," said Minnesota manager Jesús Martínez. "My guys gave it their best, but he hit some fine pitches. He was like -- he was in an automatic home run mode today. He just had that great swing. It didn't matter what we threw him. It was gone."

Sam Smith hit a two-run home run off Dick Bailey in the 1st, hit a three-run home run off Dick Bailey in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Jean-Claude Padeira in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Jean-Claude Padeira in the 8th.

Smith is currently batting .220 with 11 home runs and 26 RBIs.
