Question
What is the record for most hits by a single team in a game?

Answer
Chris,

 In the National League, it's 36 by the Philadelphia Phillies  vs the Louisville Colonels on Aug 17, 1894.

 In the American League, it's 31 by the Milwaukee Brewers vs the Toronto Blue Jays on Aug 28, 1992. (The Cleveland Indians had 33 hits against the Philadelphia A's in an 18-inning game on July 10, 1932.)

Cheers, Tom
