Sunday 9/11/1993: Kirk Gibson punishes Pittsburgh with five hits
PITTSBURGH - Kirk Gibson hits 'em where they ain't. Pittsburgh certainly agrees as Montreal's leftfielder unloaded five hits, adding to his reputation of being one of the best pure hitters in the game. A 413 foot drive to left field marked his 1st hit, a solo homerun off Ed Hodge in the 1st inning. A pitch from Ed Hodge in the 4th inning left his bat for a double.

Saturday 9/10/1993: Kevin Mitchell knocks lights out with three homeruns
CHICAGO (N) - Hitting homeruns is one of the most difficult things in sports. To hit three of them in one game is almost sensational. Chicago (N)'s rightfielder Kevin Mitchell accomplished that feat in a 12-9 win over San Francisco. His 1st blast, a two-run homerun off Mike R. Jackson in the 4th inning, landed an estimated 418 feet from home plate. His 2nd shot, off Mike R. Jackson in the 6th inning, was a two-run homerun and cleared the fence in left field. Number 3 in the 9th inning, a shot estimated at 321 feet, cleared the wall in left field. That one even won the game for his team! Kevin went 3 for 5, scoring three runs and driving in 7 runs. His homerun total this year is 27, along with 96 RBI. On 8/29/1993, Robin Ventura was the last player to hit 3 dingers in a single game.

Thursday 9/8/1993: San Diego has no chance in a NO-HITTER by Jeff Calhoun

He now has 12 career shutouts in 279 games started. 'My catcher called a very good game. I have to give credit to him. He was the main reason I accomplished this feat.' Calhoun (8-8) fanned 6 and walked 6, throwing 117 pitches. Atlanta's second baseman Julio Cruz stroked 1 hit in 3 AB. That was enough to support the brilliant performance of Calhoun.
