Boudreau Belts Bunch of Base Hits
Thursday, May 4th, 1939
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 Lou Boudreau, it came around today.

The 21-year-old shortstop scattered hits all over Cleveland Stadium to pace the Cleveland Indians to a 14-8 victory over the New York Yankees.

New York skipper told reporters in the press room that "Boudreau deserves a hat-tip."

"He hit some good pitches against us," he said. "In fact, according to our scouting reports, Boudreau hit several that he is not supposed to be able to hit."

Lou Boudreau hit an RBI single in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, hit an RBI double in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Marv Breuer in the 6th, singled in the 7th and hit a two-run double in the 8th.

For the year Boudreau has hit .295 with 2 home runs, 12 RBIs and scored 8 runs.
