FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY » May 8, 1935: Reds backstop Ernie Lombardi equals the major-league record with four straight doubles, all in consecutive innings (6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th) and each off a different pitcher: Syl Johnson, Orville Jorgens, Euel Moore, and Franklin Pearce. The slow-footed Lombardi also has a "long single" in the 23-hit, 15–4 win over the Phillies in game 1. The Reds collect seven doubles and two homers. In the nitecap, the Phils snap their nine game losing streak with a 5–4 victory.
