 | Saturday, July 11th, 1964: Big Day for Rose: Swats 5 Hits It was a good day all around. Philadelphia whipped Cincinnati 10-3 and Pete Rose displayed a hot bat, enjoying an outstanding 5-hit day at Connie Mack Stadium. "Some days, lady luck is on your side," he modestly told BNN reporters after the game. His manager told the beat writers otherwise, "His hitting wasn't luck today. It's his solid approach to hitting. Pete is focused, patient and he hits to all fields. The more solid at-bats you put together, the more success you're going to have." The 23-year-old second baseman for the Phillies collected 5 hits in 5 at-bats to get his name in the record book. P. Rose singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, doubled in the 6th and hit a two-run home run off M. Murakami in the 7th. In 81 games Rose is hitting .284 this season for the Phillies with 90 hits, 1 home run, 19 RBIs, 16 walks, .324 OBP and has scored 36 runs. |
