| Tuesday, June 21st, 1988: Serna 5-5 Against Durham
Paul Serna had an answer for everything the Durham Grenadiers threw him today in the Garland 4-3 triumph at Express Ballpark. He made good contact 5 times and 5 times he drilled the ball for a base hit.
The Garland shortstop went 5 for 5 in the game to put his name in the record book.
Summing up his batting philosophy to BNN writers after the game, Serna said, "I just see the ball and I hit it."
P. Serna hit an RBI single in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off S. Stewart in the 7th and doubled in the 9th.
Thus far this year Serna is batting .276 with 7 home runs, 41 RBIs and 26 runs scored.

 | Tuesday, June 14th, 1988: Garland Halts Robertson's Hitting Steak
Lakers shortstop Andre Robertson was one of the hottest hitters in baseball, coming into today's game against Garland with a 20-game hitting streak. However, the Express put a chill in his bat, at least for today, and held him hitless in 3 at-bats during the Garland 1-0 triumph at Lakers Ballpark.
In 66 games this season Robertson has batted at a .257 pace with 67 hits and 1 home run.
