Clemmons Sizzles -- Smokes Eagles for 5 Hits
Henry Clemmons of the Drummers was unstoppable in his team's 19-8 victory over the Houston Eagles at Bayou Field. He battered them for 5 hits in 6 at-bats.

"Boy, I was on the mark today," said the Waco first baseman after the game. "I could see the ball real well. It's a great feeling to do this. And besides, 5-for-6 won't hurt your batting average like 0-for-5 will."

Henry Clemmons struck out in the 2nd, doubled in the 4th, doubled in the 6th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.

In 1896 Clemmons has hit at a .319 clip with 15 hits, no home runs, 9 RBIs and has scored 15 times.
