Val Pascucci's six-RBI night for the Bisons in Tuesday's win over Scranton-Wilkes Barre was a first for the Herd since Todd Linden had six in 2008 at Durham. Bisons PR maven Brad Bisbing quickly provided that nugget during the game Tuesday.
Bisbing did some more research today and found it's just the third time in the last 11 years a Bison had six RBIs at home. The record is 9, set by Dusty Wathan in his three-homer game in 2005 against Toledo. Sean McNally had seven against Norfolk in 2001. Here's the list of top RBI games in recent seasons, both home and away:
9 - Dusty Wathan vs. Toledo, June 2, 2005
8 - Earl Snyder at Syracuse, June 13, 2002
7 - Ernie Young at Rochester, April 29, 2004
7 - Sean McNally vs. Norfolk, May 20, 2001
6 - Val Pascucci vs. Scranton, May 10, 2011
6 - Todd Linden at Durham, July 31, 2008
6 - Ryan Mulhern at Columbus, April 16, 2007
6 - Mike Kinkade at Syracuse, Aug. 25, 2005
6 - Ryan Ludwick at Pawtucket, Aug. 17, 2004 (became second Bison all-time and first since 1934 to homer twice in an inning)
6 - Ryan Ludwick at Syracuse, July 23, 2004
6 - Alex Escobar at Indianapolis, May 9, 2003
