George Gore was a tough out and went 5-for-6 in a fine hitting display, but the St. Louis Browns managed to overcome his performance and top the Chicago White Stockings, 12-11.
"I got my pitches and I connected," Gore said. "They all found the right holes on the diamond. Some days you hit shots and they're right at somebody, and some days they fall in. And some days you lose, no matter how well you play."
On this occasion, Gore played well enough to get his name in the record books. George Gore grounded out in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a two-run single in the 4th, hit a two-run single in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and singled in the 9th.
Batting .371 to date, Gore has no home runs and 13 RBIs.
