Boston College's Higgins Goes Ballistic with 5 Hits
Richard Higgins was on fire, sparking his club to a win, 9-6, over the Fighting Illini. The Boston College shortstop was a tough out and went 5-for-6 against Illinois in a fine hitting display.

"I got my pitches and I connected. They all found the right holes on the diamond. Some days you hit shots and they're right at somebody and some days they fall in."

Richard Higgins doubled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, flied out in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

Currently Higgins is batting .340 with 7 home runs and 35 RBIs.
