Turner Slams 5 Hits for Nashville
A jubilant Charles Turner joined the postgame press conference at Chickasaw Field to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Memphis Bruins pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the Nashville Stones center fielder, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different."

That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-5 hitting performance, which led to the 11-8 Stones win.

"He made it look easy," said John Morgan, manager of the Bruins. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."

Charles Turner hit an RBI single in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 7th and grounded out in the 9th.

So far in 1896 Turner is batting .310 with 1 home run, 26 RBIs and 30 runs scored. He has 95 hits in 306 at-bats and a .373 OBP.
