test

On September 30, 1921 — It is Rogers Hornsby Day at Sportsman’s Park, and the Cardinal star celebrates by pounding out a home run and two doubles against Pittsburgh to lead the third-place Cardinals to a 12 – 4 win. Hornsby will go hitless in his last two games, dropping his final average to .397 for the year, still the best in the National League. Teammates Austin McHenry and Jack Fournier will be 2nd and 3rd in hitting in the circuit.

The Upton brothers, playing together for the Braves, stun the Cubs. With Atlanta trailing 5 – 4, B.J. Upton leads off the bottom of the 9th with a homer off Carlos Marmol, and two batters later, Justin Upton hits a walk-off blast to give the Braves a 6 – 5 win, his second long ball of the game.
