 | 5-for-6 Day for Brown Saturday, August 15th , 1896 It's not something you read about in the sports pages every day -- a 5-for-6 day. For many, it might come around only once in a career -- and for Harvey Brown, it came around today. The 29-year-old first baseman scattered hits all over Forge Field to pace the 13-2 Cincinnati Satraps victory over the Pittsburgh Vulcans. Pittsburgh skipper told reporters in the press room that "Brown deserves a hat-tip." "He hit some good pitches against us," he said. "In fact, according to our scouting reports, Brown hit several that he is not supposed to be able to hit." Harvey Brown hit an RBI triple in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI double in the 5th, hit a two-run single in the 6th, grounded out in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off Burton Kunkel in the 9th. For the year, Brown has hit .267 with 12 home runs, 69 RBIs and scored 50 runs. View Boxscore |   |
