 | Thursday, September 4th, 1969: 5 Hits for Monuments Wagner
Next time the Superbas might think twice about pitching to Leon Wagner. Today at Griffith Stadium the Washington right fielder really burned Brooklyn pitching, going 5-for-5 in the Monuments 10-1 triumph.
"When he's seeing the ball well," his skipper told reporters, "he can probably stroke a base hit blindfolded."
L. Wagner hit a two-run double in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th and hit an RBI double in the 8th.
In the 1969 season Wagner is hitting .287 with 12 home runs.
