Bickle 5-for-5 Against Montreal
Getting 5 hits in a game has always been memorable feat in baseball. In the New York's 18-5 win over Montreal, second baseman Lowell Bickle was red-hot, scorching them for hit after hit at Queens Field.

"To hit the ball consistently well, you have to relax," Bickle said afterward. "I was relaxed for the first four hits, but I have to admit, I got a little tight when I realized I had a chance for five. On the last at-bat, I was ready to swing at anything close."

Lowell Bickle hit an RBI single in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit a sac fly in the 5th, hit a three-run home run off Dave Quinlan in the 6th and hit an RBI single in the 8th.

Bickle is currently hitting at a .325 pace with 2 home runs and 13 RBIs. He has played in 20 games and scored 11 times.
