Stearnes Batters Mission for 5 Hits Tuesday, June 30th, 1936 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 Turkey Stearnes, it came around today. The 35-year-old right fielder scattered hits all over Seals Stadium to pace the Los Angeles Angels to a 14-7 victory over the Mission Bells. Mission skipper Mike Heath told reporters in the press room that "Stearnes deserves a hat-tip." "He hit some good pitches against us," he said. "In fact, according to our scouting reports, Stearnes hit several that he is not supposed to be able to hit." Turkey Stearnes hit an RBI triple in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, hit an RBI triple in the 5th, hit a two-run double in the 6th, doubled in the 8th and singled in the 9th. To date this year Stearnes is batting .327 with 17 home runs. View Boxscore View Game Log |
