5-for-8 Day for Brewer Friday, May 2nd , 1952 Joe Brewer told the press after his 5-hit day, "Every batter wants to have a quality at-bat every time he steps up to the plate. He wants to hit the ball hard." Well, that's just what Brewer of the New York Skyliners did against the Lisbon Seafarers. He went to the plate 8 times and 5 times he delivered base hits, but his club still suffered a defeat, 5-4. "Not much I can say," offered Brewer in the postgame press conference. "I got a bunch of hits, but it would have been much better to get a win. Can I trade 5 hits for the win?" Joe Brewer hit a two-run home run off Chance Moder in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, struck out in the 6th, doubled in the 8th, flied out in the 10th, flied out in the 12th, walked in the 15th, singled in the 17th and singled in the 19th.
