Keller Sizzles -- Smokes Gnomes for 5 Hits
It's not something you read about in the sports pages every day -- a 5-for-6 day. For many, it might come around only once in a career -- and for Brandon Keller, it came around today.

The 18-year-old shortstop scattered hits all over Tempe Diablo Stadium to pace the 13-4 Phoenix Armadillos victory over the Yuma Gnomes.

Yuma skipper Ryan Guardado told reporters in the press room that "Keller deserves a hat-tip."

"He hit some good pitches against us," he said. "In fact, according to our scouting reports, Keller hit several that he is not supposed to be able to hit."

Brandon Keller struck out in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and hit an RBI triple in the 9th.

A look at his current stats shows Keller with a .318 average, no home runs, 7 RBIs and 8 runs scored. He has played in 15 games.
