KINGS CO. HAS QUARTET OF STARS IN SUNDAY STROLL
KOLBERG, KOONCE, & MCSHANE SHINE AS K.C. WINS BY EIGHTEEN
BROOKLYN (June 6, 1869) – One day after James Hoyt torched Eckford pitching for six hits in a ten-run victory, Kings County one-upped that performance as a quartet of players excelled in an eighteen-run romp:
Each of the top six members of the Kings County lineup had multiple hits, but four of the six stood above the others and put in spectacular performances:• #1 Theodore Kolberg (2B): 4/5, 2 2B, HR, 4 R, 4 RBI, 1 BB, 9 TB, 94 GMSC
• #3 Garfield Koonce (1B): 4/6 (all 1B), 3 R, 2 RBI
• #5 Carlton McShane (OF): 4/6, 2 2B, HR, 4 R, 5 RBI, 9 TB, 92 GMSC
• #6 Henry Fitzgerald (SS): 2/5, HR, 2 R, 4 RBI Kings County’s three Home Runs were the most in a game by any team this year, and no team hit three in a game in 1868. Thanks to the team’s nine-run outburst during their first time to bat the game was effectively over after the end of the first inning, and Kings Co. only piled on the runs from there.
The win brought Kings County to 14-11, good for a tie for second at one game behind Atlantic in a tight Brooklyn Championship. Eckford is in a three-way tie for fifth place at 12-13.
