| Breaking News |  | Wednesday, April 28th, 1965: Monbouquette Blanks Pirates
"I had everything working for me out there. I used every one of my pitches, hit both sides of the plate really well and felt like I could do whatever I wanted."
With stuff like that, it was easy for Bill Monbouquette of the Dodgers to handcuff the Pirates 4-0 and come away with a complete-game 3-hit shutout. He recorded 2 strikeouts and 1 walk in an impressive performance.

 | Friday, April 23rd, 1965: Hiatt 5-5 Against Pirates
Today the Astros downed the Pirates 14-5 as Jack Hiatt sprayed hits all over Astrodome in a 5-hit explosion, finishing with 5 hits in 5 at-bats.
The Houston catcher said to reporters in the postgame interview, "It makes it easier if you get a good pitch. The odds are in your favor then, not the pitcher's. I got a bunch of very pretty pitches to hit today and I didn't miss any of them."
J. Hiatt singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a two-run double in the 3rd, hit an RBI double in the 5th and hit a two-run double in the 6th.
In 1965 Hiatt has produced 10 hits in 42 at-bats for a .238 average with no home runs and gotten on base at a .289 clip. |
 | Wednesday, April 21st, 1965: Mays Cracks 5 Hits
"Ever since I picked up my first bat my coaches were always saying to keep your eye on the ball, don't overswing... just make contact and ya never know what'll happen," San Francisco's Willie Mays told reporters after the game. "That's all I did today. I made contact and it turned out well."
It definitely turn out well for Mays today as he collected 5 hits in 5 at-bats against Pittsburgh. It turned out well for his team, too, as the Giants knocked off the Pirates 8-5 at Candlestick Park.
W. Mays singled in the 1st, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off T. Sisk in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 8th.
This season Mays is batting .243 with 2 home runs. |
