 | Monday, August 20th, 1860: Hot Bat of Higdon Burns Clams Who needs warm ups? Sadie Higdon of New York apparently doesn't as he battered Rochester with a 5-hit outburst in today's game to lead his club to a 18-4 win. He told the writers after the match, "And I didn't even warm up today. I think I have been taking too many swings before game and decided to take a day off. Wow, this was really something... a 5 for 6 day... will my name be in the record books now?" S. Higdon singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and grounded out in the 8th. This year Higdon has hit at a .293 clip with 80 hits, 1 four basers, 37 RBIs, no walks, a .293 on-base percentage and 55 tallys. |
