| Tolliver 5-for-6 for Pittsburgh | 5 hits in a game is a rare thing, but Pittsburgh's Burton Tolliver made it happen against the Blue Caps. Everything came together at the plate for the 30-year-old second baseman as he collected 5 hits in 6 at-bats -- and helped the Vulcans triumph, 12-1, at Columbia Avenue Grounds.
"I'm just out there to try and help the team win," Tolliver said after the game, "I had some real good at-bats. I made good, solid contact and luckily no one caught 'em."
Burton Tolliver singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, flied out in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th.
Currently Tolliver is batting .373 with 28 hits and no home runs. He has knocked in 12 runs and scored 13 times. | |
