| Breaking News |  | Friday, September 10th, 1982: Burleson Rips Miami for 5 Hits
It was a sensational day at the plate for Rick Burleson as he led the charge to a 12-11 win over the Marlins.
The Allegheny shortstop was pure misery for the Miami pitching staff. He left them shellshocked with 5 hits in 6 at-bats in an explosive display of hitting.
The manager for the Marlins told BNN reporters after the game, "Burleson put the ball into play. He really hit it hard. When you do that, you've got a pretty good chance to do some damage. And that's what happened. I feel like we threw some pretty good pitches, but he just put some good swings on the ball."
R. Burleson doubled in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, flied out in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 7th, singled in the 8th and hit a solo-shot off W. Remmerswaal in the 10th.
To date Burleson has chalked up a .421 average with 1 home run, driven in 10 runs and scored 6 times.
