 | Garland Batters Toronto for 6 Hits Friday, August 28th , 1896 Rochester right fielder Freddie Garland could do no wrong in his team's 9-8 win over the Dominions, as he collected 6 hits. "Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Dominions skipper said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts." Garland agreed, saying that getting ahead early in the counts was "the key" to his game. "Once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get a better pitch to hit," he said. "You know the pitcher has to come in with it. And you're ready." Freddie Garland hit an RBI double in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th, hit an RBI single in the 8th and singled in the 10th. Garland is swinging at a .390 pace on the year with 2 home runs, 73 RBIs and 88 runs scored. He has played in 95 games. View Boxscore |   |
