Hint:
The answer is 6.
VikingMike was correct on how to get to 5 hits so the question is, how do you get a base hit without scoring a run with the bases loaded?

Very good...didn't think of that. Same scenario as I had before, but the last guy singles, and is tagged out after he rounds first and before the runner on 3rd crosses home plate.

who is the oldest pitcher to play professional baseball, and how old was he

Satchel Paige at 59. But some people think Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez is about 65... ;D

It wasn't exactly the answer I was looking for, and I actually don't know how they would score that.

EDIT:
After thinking about it I guess it would have to be ruled a hit although that scenario is very unlikely.....Nice creativity, I never thought of something like that before.

I was looking for the last hit being a batted ball that strikes a runner.
The runner is out but the batter is credited with a basehit.
