SIX FOR SIX FOR JAMES HOYT!
FLOUR CITY RF WITH NINE TOTAL BASES, THREE RBI VS BINGHAMTON

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (June 8, 1861) – It took seven runs after entering the bottom of the eighth in a deficit, but Flour City exited Saturday’s game against Binghamton winners by the score of 15-9 thanks to that massive rally. The star of the show was F.C. right fielder James Hoyt, who started the key inning with a single and drove in the final runs with a triple – two of his six hits on the afternoon.

There were other good performances by the hosts – notably James Hoddle’s 3/5 with a run & RBI each – but nobody came close to Hoyt’s output:

• BOT 1: Single to RF off S. Battistoni
• BOT 3: Leadoff Single to CF off S. Battistoni (scored)
• BOT 5: 1-run Single to RCF off S. Battistoni (scored)
• BOT 6: Double to RCF off S. Battistoni (scored)
• BOT 8: Leadoff Infield Single off M. Anderson (scored)
• BOT 8: 2-run Triple to RCF off M. Anderson
• TOTAL: 6/6, 2B, 3B, 4 R, 3 RBI, 2 SB, 9 TB

The performance left Hoyt a .341 hitter through 29 games, and the win left Flour City tied for third place in the Upstate New York Championship with a 16-13 record.
