Hits Blitz for Stars Burns Monday, September 28th, 1931 The Hollywood Stars topped the Oakland Oaks by a score of 11-3 at Wrigley Field L.A. today but all the talk was on first baseman George H Burns. The Hollywood star hit for the cycle in a show-stealing performance, powering his club to the win. Burns went 5-for-5, collecting 2 singles, 1 double, 1 triple and 1 home run to go along with 4 runs batted in and 1 run scored. "I felt comfortable at the plate in a way I haven't felt all season," Burns said after the game. "It was like they were throwing beach balls at me - the ball seemed that big. And it just floated in." George H Burns hit a two-run home run off Leo Mangum in the 1st, hit an RBI triple in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit an RBI double in the 6th and singled in the 8th. This season Burns is batting .338 with 20 home runs. He has scored 84 runs and driven in 101. View Boxscore View Game Log |
