DeMontreville Has Hot Hand, Bangs 5 hits
Some moments become linked with a particular player's career forever. Gene DeMontreville of the Pittsburgh Pirates had one of those moments when he went 5-for-5 at the plate today in the 8-5 win over the Brooklyn Bridegrooms at Eastern Park 1891-1897.

"I won't forget this anytime soon, and I don't expect it to happen too often," the 24-year-old shortstop told reporters in the postgame interview. "I'll be happy to just get a hit or two every day. Enough to hang around the league a while longer. Like 10, maybe 15 more years."

Gene DeMontreville singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 5th, hit a three-run home run off John Horan in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

This season DeMontreville is batting .295 with 59 hits, 3 home runs, 25 RBIs, .330 OBP and has scored 17 runs.
