Little gets five hits in Cooperstown exhibition

Associated Press

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. -- Mark Little had five hits and four RBI as the Colorado Rockies set records for runs and hits in the Hall of Fame Game, beating the Chicago White Sox 18-10 Monday.

In the 56th annual major league exhibition game at Doubleday Field, the Rockies surpassed the previous mark of 16 runs scored by the Cincinnati Reds in 1953 and matched by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1997.

Colorado got 24 hits to break Los Angeles' record of 21 set that same year.

The teams also made a trade Monday, with the White Sox sending catcher Sandy Alomar Jr. to Colorado for a minor league pitcher.

Ben Petrick, Greg Norton and Terry Shumpert homered for the Rockies, who made their first appearance in the Hall of Fame Game.

Jason Dallaero went 2-for-3 with two home runs, three runs scored and four RBI for the White Sox, who fell to 1-7-1 in Cooperstown.

Little had the first five-hit game in Hall of Fame Game history, going 5-for-6 with a home run. Bryan Peck added four hits, including a homer, as the Rockies scored 13 runs in the seventh and ninth innings combined.

At 2 hours, 51 minutes, it was also the longest Hall of Fame Game in history. At-bats for major league regulars were scarce. Colorado's Todd Helton, and Chicago's Frank Thomas and Magglio Ordonez were among the numerous starters who sat out.

Paul Konerko was 1-for-3 for the White Sox before leaving in the seventh inning after getting hit in the left elbow by a pitch from Chris Buglovsky.

Buglovsky got the win despite allowing six runs -- four earned -- in three innings.

Jason Stumm gave up six runs in one-plus inning for the loss.

The 28 runs broke the record of 24 set by the Dodgers and San Diego Padres in '97, and the 35 hits combined established a new mark.
