Taylor Goes 5-for-5 Against St. Louis Sunday, September 17th , 1972 A jubilant Chris Taylor joined the postgame press conference at Independence Field to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the St. Louis Explorers pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Kansas City Bulls left fielder, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different." That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-5 hitting performance, which led to the 11-4 Bulls win. "He made it look easy," said Ray Fleetwood, manager of the Explorers. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Chris Taylor hit a solo-shot off Dick Lott in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a two-run single in the 4th, hit a two-run double in the 5th and singled in the 7th. Taylor is currently batting .325 with 25 home runs, 75 RBIs and 85 runs scored. He has 177 hits in 544 at-bats. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
