As a general rule, most spherical balls are sold by circumference, not diameter. Dodgeballs are a notable exception to this. I'm pretty sure it has to do with inflatable balls, but honestly I haven't looked into it too deeply. I would guess with some certainty that if you ordered wiffle-type balls from any normal sports vendor that were labelled at 5", you will have this problem.
