 | Great Day for Collins -- 5 Hits Tuesday, September 25th , 1888 It was a good day for the Barons at Columbia Field as they clipped the Indianapolis Westerners, 4-1. It was tremendous day for Cornbread Collins, who was on a hitting barrage at the plate, finishing 5-for-5. "I don't know what to call that," the New York first baseman told reporters after his big performance. "I'm not 'dialed in' or 'in a zone,' I just try to keep it simple. Basically the pitcher throws the ball, I try to pick up the spin, then I hit it. Today I picked up the spin pretty well." Cornbread Collins doubled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, doubled in the 4th, singled in the 6th and singled in the 8th. Collins on the season is hitting .244 with 11 home runs. His stats include 61 RBIs and 96 runs scored. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |   |
