| Breaking News |  | Saturday, June 22nd, 1872: Atlantics Beehler Smacks 5 Hits
It was a big day with the bat for Henry Beehler of the Brooklyn Atlantics as he bashed out hit after hit after hit against Pittsburgh.
To the press after the ballgame he modestly said, "Guys, it's just one game in a long season. I hit it hard and found some holes today... and Bingo! -- 5 hits in 5 tries! But my hits are not the big story in the game. We lost the game 14-8. That's the story. The Vulcans flat out beat us!"
At the end of the game Beehler had collected 5 hits in 5 at-bats and a small mention in the record book. He was happy for his big day with the bat, but not too happy with the outcome of the game.
The beat writers were happy, too. They had their big story -- they could write about his big day with the bat.
H. Beehler singled in the 1st, hit a two-run single in the 2nd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off B. Sockalexis in the 8th.
Looking at his 1872 season stats, Beehler has compiled a .306 batting average in 60 games with a .303 on-base percentage, while hitting 1 home run and driving in 29 runs.
