5-for-5 Game for Martell Tuesday, August 7th , 1888 Aníbal Martell told the press after his 5-hit day, "Every batter wants to have a quality at-bat every time he steps up to the plate. He wants to hit the ball hard." Well, that's just what Martell of the Leogane Chevaux Rouges did against the Kingston Vultures. He went to the plate 5 times and 5 times he delivered base hits, but his club still suffered a 9-6 defeat. "Not much I can say," offered Martell in the postgame press conference. "I got a bunch of hits, but it would have been much better to get a win. Can I trade 5 hits for the win?" Aníbal Martell hit an RBI double in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI double in the 5th, hit an RBI double in the 7th and singled in the 9th. Martell on the season is batting .326 with 2 home runs. His totals include 55 RBIs and 77 runs scored. He has played in 96 games. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
