| 5-Hit Blitz by Pena Friday, April 3rd, 1970 It wasn't just another day at the ballpark for Joe Pena today. Pena went on a tear and cracked hit after hit off Erie HS pitchers. When the dust settled on the diamond at Albuquerque HS Fields, he had a 5-for-6 line and a day he will long remember. And the Germantown HS Natives had a 16-8 victory over the Steeldogs.
"Yeah, it'll be something nice to tell the grandkids, but it won't get me a hit tomorrow," he joked in the postgame interview.
Joe Pena singled in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, doubled in the 6th, hit a two-run double in the 7th, singled in the 8th and hit a GRAND SLAM off Scott Ramsey in the 9th.
