TWO SIX-HIT GAMES IN REGIONAL COMPETITION
NBBO & PCBL EACH SEE A PLAYER FINISH WITH SIX HITS ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. & PHILADELPHIA, PENN. (June 4, 1875) - On Friday the A.P.B.L. had one star performer, with Eamon Todd putting in the performance of the day by going 4/5 with a pair of Doubles & five Runs Batted In during an 11-3 home win over Niagara. However, he was easily outdone by a batsman in each of the other two competitions.

In the N.B.B.O., Frontier 1B Remi Scrovegni played the hero as his team came back from a 12-4 deficit to win 13-12 at Binghamton in extra innings. In the process, Scrovegni had himself an afternoon to remember thanks to some impeccable bat work during the late innings:

• T1: Single past 2B off H. Giblin (SB)
• T3: Leadoff Double to LCF off H. Giblin (R)
• T4: Single past 2B off H. Giblin
• T6: Fly Out to CF (2 out)
• T8: 1-run Single to RF off H. Giblin (R)
• T9: 3-RUN HOME RUN (I-t-P) to RCF off R. Oliver (R)
• T11: 1-run Single past 2B off R. Oliver
• TOTAL: 6/7 (2B, HR, 10 TB), 3 R, 5 RBI, SB, 105 GMSC, GW HIT

It was Scrovegni’s mad dash around the bases for an Inside-the-Park Home Run that tied the game in the top of the 9th, and it was his Single during the top of the 11th that won the game for Frontier. Scrovegni accomplished the third 100+ Game Score in the N.B.B.O. this season, and in the process raised his Average to .373 (.906 OPS) with two Home Runs and fifteen Runs Batted In through three and a half weeks of play.

The P.C.B.L. had its own six-hit game on Friday, but the contest it occurred in wasn’t the close thriller that Frontier v Binghamton was.

Port Richmond played at home against Sons of Ben in the third game of their Week Four series, and thanks to a ten-run opening inning the hosts walloped S.o.B. by the score of 20-5.

There were two Pt. Richmond batsmen that ended the game with 4+ Hits. The first was CF William Detmer, who finished the game 4/6 (2B, 2 R, 2 RBI). The other was LF Bradley Bowman, who went for six:

• B1: Single to CF off P. Krueger (R)
• B1: 2-RUN HOME RUN to LF off P. Krueger (R)
• B3: Single to LF off P. Krueger (R)
• B4: Reached via Error by RF A. Hall (R)
• B5: 1-run Single to LCF off H. Alger (R)
• B6: 1-run Single to RF off J. Shaw
• B8: Single past SS off J. Shaw
• TOTAL: 6/7 (HR, 9 TB), 5 R, 4 RBI, 112 GMSC

Bowman’s six-hit outing raised his Average to .341 (827 OPS) with a pair of Home Runs and 22 Runs Batted In through eighteen games.

Frontier’s win left them 11-7, 4th place in Upstate New York but just two games behind co-leaders Utica & Victory. Binghamton is one game behind Frontier at 10-8.

Port Richmond’s big win over Sons of Ben brought them back up to .500 at 9-9. They are currently three games behind surprising East Philadelphia leaders Minerva (12-6). Sons of Ben is 7-11 (5 GB).
