Paddy Murphy really did a number on the Giants in the Baltimore 25-1 victory. Not just anyone can get 5 hits in 6 at-bats. But Paddy Murphy did just that today for the Orioles and gave his batting average a healthy boost and sparked his club in the win.
"I felt real good in the batter's box today. I had confidence in my swing and knew that it was there and that I could get the job done," the 22-year-old center fielder said after his record-setting performance.
P. Murphy tripled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, walked in the 4th, doubled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and grounded out in the 8th.
Thus far in 1895 Murphy has hit .371 with 2 home runs, 69 RBIs and scored 147 runs.
