 | Thursday, August 7th, 1969: 5-Hit Blitz by Denver's De La Hoz Who needs batting practice? Mike De La Hoz of Denver apparently doesn't as he battered Twin Cities with a 5-hit outburst in today's game to lead his club to a 9-7 win. He told the press after the game, "And I didn't even take BP 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 5 day... will my name be in the record books now?" M. De La Hoz singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a two-run single in the 4th, doubled in the 6th and singled in the 8th. De La Hoz on the season is batting .333 with 1 home run. His totals include 16 RBIs and 10 runs scored. He has played in 21 games. |
