This Day In Dodgers History: Willie Davis Has 6-Hit Game

This day in Los Angeles Dodgers history saw Willie Davis make franchise history by going 6-for-9 with a run scored, one RBI and a stolen base against the New York Mets on May 24, 1973.

With that performance, Davis became the first player in L.A. Dodgers franchise history with six hits in a single game. Unfortunately, it came in a 7-3 loss at Dodger Stadium that needed 19 innings to be completed.

First pitch was 8:05 p.m PT and the time of game took the contest into the next day as it went five hours and 42 minutes.

Davis, who was in the cleanup spot of the Dodgers lineup, started his night with a leadoff single in the bottom of the second inning. He then had an RBI base hit in the third and collected another single off Tom Seaver in the fifth inning.

Davis continued to torment the Mets as he led off the eighth inning with a base hit against Phil Hennigan, and made it five singles in as many at-bats when he did the same while facing Tug McGraw to start the bottom of the 10th.

The final hit Davis had in the Dodgers’ loss was another single in 14th inning.

He spent 14 seasons with the Dodgers and holds the Los Angeles franchise record with 2.091 career hits. The Dodgers traded Davis to the Montreal Expos for Mike Marshall on Dec. 5, 1973.

Dodgers with six hits

Since Davis accomplished the feat, additional Dodgers players with six hits in one game are Paul Lo Duca (2001), Shawn Green (2002), Chase Utley (2016) and Shohei Ohtani (2024).

Ohtani’s effort came as part of a record-setting performance as he became the first player in MLB history with 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases.
