Vada Pinson was on fire today and sparked his club to a 11-2 victory over the Expos. The Pittsburgh center fielder was a tough out and went 5-for-5 against Montreal 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."

Vada Pinson singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, tripled in the 6th and singled in the 7th.

During the current season Pinson is batting at a .309 clip with 9 home runs and 31 RBIs. He has played in 67 games and scored 45 times.
