 | Tuesday, September 1st, 1936: 5-Hits Blitz by Baer
Today the Buckeyes downed the Eagles 7-6 as Rudy Baer sprayed hits all over League Park in a 5-hit explosion, finishing up with 5 hits in 5 at-bats.
The Cleveland second baseman said to TSW reporters in the postgame interview, "It makes it easier if you get a good pitch. The odds are in your favor then, not the pitcher's. I got a bunch of very pretty pitches to hit today, and I didn't miss any of them."
R. Baer singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, tripled in the 4th, singled in the 6th and hit an RBI double in the 8th.
Year-to-date in 111 games Baer has compiled a .284 batting average with 116 hits and 5 home runs. He has also scored 61 times and knocked in 44 runs.
