| Breaking News |  | Wednesday, October 18th, 1871: LaPointe Goes 5-6
It was a good day for the Blue Stockings at Ballpark of Cheyenne as they clipped the Michigan Panthers 16-0. It was tremendous day for Al LaPointe, who went on quite a hitting spree with a 5 for 6 barrage.
The New York catcher told reporters after his big 5-hit performance, "I don't have any buzz words. I'm not 'dialed in' or 'in a zone,' as they say. As far as the hitting goes, I try to keep it simple. I try not to look into it too much. Basically the pitcher throws the ball, I try to pick up the spin, then try to hit it. Today I picked up the spin very well."
A. LaPointe singled in the 1st, tripled in the 3rd, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off S. Humble in the 7th and flied out in the 8th.
Thus far this year LaPointe is hitting .265 with 3 home runs, 75 RBIs and 111 runs scored.
