| » September 9, 1926: Trailing 6–3 at the end of eight innings, Brooklyn then makes nine hits and adds two walks to win going away, 12–6. A National League record five Brooklyn pinch hitters all deliver, including pinch hitter Dick Cox, who gets two hits, scores twice, and has two RBI in a 9-run 9th inning. Pinch hitter Moose Clabaugh bats twice in the 9th, collecting a hit: the six pinch hits sets a major-league record and the three pinch runners scoring ties a ML mark set in 1900. The Phils use a record-tying five pitchers in the 9th with Waylon Dean taking the loss. The Phils are again paced by Cy Williams, who clubs two homers in his first two at-bats (three in a row), before striking out in his next. |
