 | Saturday, June 22nd, 1940: Sanford 5-6 Against Rainbows
5 hits in 6 at-bats. It doesn't happen every day, and when it does, it's exciting. Today John Sanford of the Orlando Pursuit had a sensational 5-6 game against Lincoln at Pursuit Ballpark. He rifled base hits all over the ballpark in his team's 15-5 shellacking of the Rainbows.
In the postgame press conference he joked, "Heck, that's a week's worth of hitting for me and I did it all in one day. I guess I can take the rest of the week off... Right, skipper?"
J. Sanford doubled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, grounded out in the 5th, hit a GRAND SLAM off J. Unknown in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off J. Unknown in the 9th.
This year Sanford has hit 6 home runs and posted a .278 batting average.
