Not only did Gehri crush four home runs, but his second and fourth were both grand slams. Yes, Gehri had 11 RBIs in the game and single-handedly brought in more runs than Princeton scored in total.
Here is a look at all four home runs.

That’s one heck of a game.
Gehri was 4-for-5 in the game. They pitched to him in the ninth and he flied out.
Amazingly, Gehri had no home runs and only three RBIs all season entering the game. But he put together a season’s worth of stats in one game and raised his average from .184 to a more respectable .241.
What a game.
