| Tuesday, August 18th, 1936: Calkins Slaps 5 Hits
The Pirates whipped the Valley Cats 13-6 at Payne Grounds and Terry Calkins had a big hand in the win. The Pirates shortstop came to the plate 6 times and collected 5 hits. It was a good day for Calkins and a tough day for Ferrysburg.
"I just go up there and whale away and hope it hits the barrel of the bat," he said. "There really isn't any plan."
Plan or not, Calkins delivered today -- 5-6 is outstanding in any league.
T. Calkins struck out in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, hit a two-run single in the 5th, singled in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.
Calkins is currently batting .300 with no home runs and 48 RBIs.
