Yeah. That's a tough feat to match, let alone best.

Any idea what the final score of the game was?

Thought to include the final.

Had to re-google for the box score.

Cards 12, Dodgers 5

In 2 consecutive at bats, but not in 1 inning.

Wiki's wording was a bit cloudy but didnt say it was in a "batted around" situation.
