 | Friday, September 1st, 1995: 5-Hit Barrage by Morris
Hal Morris told the press after his 5-hit day, "Every batter wants to have a quality at-bat every time he steps up to the plate. He wants to hit the ball hard."
Well, that's just what Morris of the Cincinnati Reds did against the Florida Marlins. He went to the plate 6 times and 5 times he delivered base hits, much to the chagrin of the Marlins, who suffered a 7-5 defeat.
"Not much that I can say," offered the losing manager, "he just hammered the heck out of us."
H. Morris hit an RBI double in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, doubled in the 4th, singled in the 7th, flied out in the 9th and singled in the 11th.
To date this season Morris is hitting .365 with 43 home runs.
