Thursday, April 13, 1876 at Washington Olympics (3-1 tied for 1st)

These are the same Washington Olympics that have scored 42 runs in their last 3 games. They have 3 batters hitting .500 or better: 2B Calvin Biron, 1B Lou Knight and C Al Cannon. Just those 3 guys have scored 24 runs in 5 games. Hope we can cool them off.

John Bendickson, Troy (24 R 3-1 0.69) vs Cal Wright, Wash. (31 R 3-1 3.09)

Lost - 4 to 2

Changed the order a bit, moving myself up to 2nd instead of 3rd, since I ain't hitting much and put Hagadorn in the 3 spot. Kelley gets the day off with his sore leg and Wash Horsfall plays 3rd. Horsfall muffed the first ball hit to him, muffed another later on and went 0 for 4 at the plate. Bill Rush finally had a hit, but only 1. I had 1 one hit; can't seem to bust through for a multi-hit game. Me and Rush are finally starting to get used to each other. We turned our first double play. I started it, 4-6-3. Rush started another later, 6-4-3. Hagadorn and Hubbard each threw out a runner at the plate or the score would have been worse. On offense, we managed 12 hits, but could only plate 2 runs. Bendickson was the best hitter on the day, getting 3 singles and scoring a run.

Other Games:
New York (5) at Pittsburgh (4) in 12 innings- Bill McClean (1-0) in relief of Charlie Moss over George Dennis (0-2) in relief of Bones Lane. Pittsburgh scored 3 in the bottom of the 9th to tie it, another in the bottom of the 11th to tie it again, but came up short. CF Henry Gunther was supposed to play for Pittsburgh, but had to come on in the 1st inning when Hi Lynch hurt himself. Gunther ended up with 5 hits in a losing cause. He had a hit with one out in the bottom of the 12th that almost tied the game, but the runner was thrown out at the plate by N.Y. RF Silver Borresen, who also had 3 hits

Philadelphia (4) at Boston (3) - Pop Yurkovich (2-2) over Charlie Morlock (2-3). 1B Joe Smith had 3 hits and 2 RBIs for the Centennials. Boston scored once in the bottom of the 9th, but the second run was gunned down at the plate by LF Fred Swanger.

Chicago (2) at St. Louis (4) - Fred Cline (3-2) over Dick Wheeler (0-1). Cline had 2 hits and 2 RBIs.
