Big Day for Owens: Swats 5 Hits
Will Owens was at the head of a Chicago hit parade at Sawnill Grounds. The right fielder went to the plate 6 times and came away with 5 hits, sparking the Crows to a nice 14-4 victory over the Minneapolis Sawyers.

"I told the guys in the dugout, just be thinking about hitting the ball hard somewhere," the sweet-swinging Owens told reporters after the game. "Seems like it worked out well for us today."

Sawyers skipper Matt Moore said later that the club gave up "too much plate."

"Not the way we planned it," he said. "Every hitter in the league will rip you when you do that."

Will Owens singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit an RBI double in the 5th, flied out in the 7th and doubled in the 9th.

In his 1896 season totals, Owens has 2 home runs, .442 BA, .498 OBP, 35 RBIs and 57 runs scored.
