This Day in Buffalo Sports History: A Bisons' explosion

   July 13, 1929 -- The Buffalo Bisons couldn't have been much more mediocre in this particular season, going 83-84 and finishing fifth. On one particular day, though, they were world-beaters.

   The Bisons not only set an International League record with 11 straight hits, but it was a professional baseball record as well. Here's the list:

   * Singles by Clayton Sheedy, John Barnes and Jim Cooney.

   * Home run by Buck Elliott.

   * Singles by Ollie Sax and Herb Thomas.

   * Double by George Fisher.

   * Singles by hack Miller, Al Moore and Sheedy.

   * Triple by Barnes.

   The Bisons scored 12 runs in the inning.
