MLB - RENNIE STENNETT - ONLY PLAYER TO GET 7 HITS IN A 9-INNING GAME



Rennie Stennett, playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates, is the only player in the 20th century to have seven hits at seven at bats in a nine-inning game. Stennett’s seven-hit game occurred on September 16, 1975, as Pittsburgh routed the Chicago Cubs 22-0. Stennett’s first hit came off starter Rick Reuschel and his seventh was off Rick’s brother Paul. Pittsburgh’s 22-0 victory also set a major league record for the largest winning score in a shutout game in the modern era. (That record was matched by the Cleveland Indians in 2004).
