After the first three hits, all eyes in the ballpark were drawn to him each time he stepped into the batter's box. Even a few of the opposing fans were pulling for him, knowing they were watching a little baseball-hitting history unfold.
In the clubhouse, crowded by reporters, the Welland left fielder said, "I never realized that batting a little ball around could cause so much commotion." When asked what the secret of hitting so well is, he smiled and replied, "The key to hitting for a high average is to relax, concentrate and hit the ball where they ain't."
Nobody was at home today as MacKinven finished the day with 5 hits in 5 at-bats and a line in the record book.
M. MacKinven singled in the 1st, hit an RBI triple in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and hit an RBI double in the 8th.
This season MacKinven is batting .286 with 8 home runs. |  | Sunday, June 4th, 1961: Rankin May Leave Traders Mark Rankin may be headed to another team -- that is, if rumors around the Port Credit clubhouse have any merit. The 37-year-old first baseman has said publicly that he welcomes a trade. | | | | Team Information | | Record overall | 31-48, .392 PCT | | Position in Division | 7th, 18.5 GB | | Record at home | 11-28, .282 PCT | | Record on the road | 20-20, .500 PCT | | Record in X-inning games | 1-6, .143 PCT | | Record in one-run games | 7-18, .280 PCT | | Record versus LHP | 4-7, .364 PCT | | Record versus RHP | 27-41, .397 PCT | | Record last 10 games | 5-5, .500 PCT | | Record in April | 9-14, .391 PCT | | Record in May | 12-16, .429 PCT | | Record in June | 10-18, .357 PCT |
