How about this-- you can get four triples, a double and a single (six hits)
without scoring!!  I heard this a long time ago, so here goes...
First batter triples and is thrown out at home.  Ditto on the second batter.
Third batter triples and stays put.  Fourth batter doubles and (for some unknownreason, maybe because the runner on third falls down) the runner stays at third.Fifth batter singles and, again, both runners stay put (silly, I know, but 
conceivable).  Finally, for the fourth triple and sixth hit, the sixth batter
homers but the baserunners congregate BEFORE crossing home to congradulate
the batter, who passes them and touches the plate.  This is then the third 
out AND scored as a triple.  I realize this is pretty far-fetched, but it IS
possible, so give me a break...
