Rennie Stennett, who set a modern major league record of seven hits in a nine-inning game, died on Tuesday at the age of 70.
On September 16, 1975, in Chicago, the Pirates beat the Cubs 22-0. There have been ten instances in the modern era of a player batting seven times in nine innings, but Stennett is the only player with seven hits. Six hits in a nine-inning game is much more common; it's happened 71 times since 1901. (Wilbert Robinson also had seven hits on June 10, 1892. See below.)
Four players have batted eight times in a nine-inning game: Darryl Hamilton (August 28, 1992), Mike Cameron (May 19, 1999), Ian Kinsler (August 22, 2007), and Frank Catalanotto (August 22, 2007).
