Jenny, I know there is never any real excuse for hitting, there is always an alternate solution, but have you, by chance, asked him why he hit this kid?
Many years ago, when my now 7th grader was in kindergarten I got a call saying he had spit on another child! I was so shocked, because he really had never done anything remotely like this. When I spoke to him about it I found out that the kid had been repeatedly kicking J as they were sitting at their table. J had asked him to stop, had "told on him" to both the teacher and the teacher's assistant, but was still getting kicked. He knew better than to hit.....
Anyway, find out the why of it... maybe he needs more coaching about how to deal with his problems with peers.
