Hastings Blisters Chicago
St. Louis starting pitcher William Hastings had a big day at Laclede Park against the Chicago Crows. The 22-year-old, who is not typically considered a big threat with the bat, went 5-for-5 and led to the 11-7 Sports triumph over Chicago.

"Hey, I'm as surprised as you guys are," Hastings said in his postgame comments, smiling as he scolded the press corps for underestimating him. "Maybe I'm not so bad at the plate after all."

William Hastings singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, doubled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 8th.

His record for the year is 4-10 in 18 starts and Hastings has a 6.48 ERA.
