 | Wednesday, September 12th, 1984: Laverte on Fire, 5-5 Against Hartford
It was a parade of hits for Currito Laverte of the Indianapolis Clowns...one right after another...a total of 5 for the day. He ravaged the Hartford Whalers for 5 hits in his 5 at-bats and propelled the Clowns to a 10-3 victory.
"Laverte was really good and we were really bad," groaned the Whalers manager. "Next time he's that hot, we'll just walk him."
C. Laverte hit an RBI double in the 1st, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI double in the 6th, doubled in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off J. McAchounich in the 9th.
This year Laverte is batting .221 with 83 hits, 20 doubles, 2 triples and 13 home runs. He has no stolen bases, 43 runs scored, and 48 runs batted in.
