| Breaking News |  | Thursday, July 27th, 1950: Austin Batters San Diego for 5 Hits
Millard Austin told the press after his 5-hit day, "Every batter wants to have a quality at-bat every time he steps up to the plate. He wants to hit the ball hard."
Well, that's just what Austin of the Los Angeles Quake did against the San Diego Suns. He went to the plate 5 times and 5 times he delivered base hits, much to the chagrin of the Suns, who suffered a 8-2 defeat.
"Not much that I can say," offered the losing manager, "he just hammered the heck out of us."
M. Austin singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and singled in the 9th.
Looking at his season stats, Austin has compiled a .286 batting average and a .326 on-base percentage, while hitting 4 home runs and driving in 31 runs.
