Paul Lo Duca went 6-for-6 in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 11-10, 11-inning victory over the Colorado Rockies at Dodger Stadium on May 28, 2001. He hit five singles and a three-run home run, scoring three runs and driving in four. The performance tied a National League record for total hits in an extra-innings game, later surpassed by Brandon Crawford’s 7-for-8 in 2016. Lo Duca finished the 2001 season with a .320/.374/.543 line, 25 home runs, 71 runs, 90 RBI, a 140 wRC+, and 5.1 WAR. In 2011, a small fire near a storage area prompted evacuation of a section of fans during a Dodgers-Marlins game, and the Dodgers lost 6-1.
"On May 28, 2001, Paul Lo Duca had a day to remember for the Los Angeles Dodgers as he went 6-for-6 in their 11-10 victory against the Colorado Rockies in 11 innings at Dodger Stadium. Lo Duca had five singles and a three-run home run while adding three runs scored and four RBI."
"Lo Duca's performance at the time tied him for a National League record for total hits in an extra-innings game, which has been done 27 times in NL history. The record has since been broken by San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford, who went 7-for-8 in a 14-inning game against the Miami Marlins on Aug. 8, 2016."
"Lo Duca ended up appearing in 125 games in 2001 and easily had the best season of his career. The then-29-year-old batted .320/.374/.543 with 25 home runs, 71 runs scored, 90 RBI, a 140 wRC+, and 5.1 WAR, which ended up being one-third of his career total."
"Also on this day in Dodgers history, but in 2011, a section of fans on the top deck seats at Dodger Stadium were forced to evacuate during a game against the Marlins due to a small fire in a nearby storage area. Plumes of smoke were visible from the top level of the ballpark on the first base side."
