Saturday, April 22, 1876 vs. Pittsburgh Alleghenys (2-7 tied for 7th place in the Liberty League)

Bones Lane, Pitts. (33 L 2-4 3.52) vs John Bendickson, Troy (24 R 5-2 0.83)

Won - 6 to 5

Going in to the bottom of the 8th we were down 5 to 1, but scored 5 times in the inning to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Pittsburgh out-hit us 11 to 10 and we tied our season-high of 6 errors made. The left side of the infield was to blame for most of them with SS Bill Rush and 3B Crazy Kelley each making a pair of them. But Rush had a good game otherwise, with 2 hits and he started two twin-killings, the second one in the 9th to end the game. I had 2 more hits out of the 6 hole, so I think I will stay there for a bit.

Other Games:
Chicago (4) at Philadelphia (2) - Will Taylor (6-3) over Pop Yurkovich (3-4). The White Stockings scored 3 times in the top of the 9th to win the game. LF Ike Noel had 3 hits and scored a run.

Boston (6) at New York (5) - Charlie Morlock (3-4) over Charlie Moss (3-6). Don't know why this game was so close: Boston out-hit New York 14 to 4 and New York out-erred the Red Caps 8 to 5. LF George Zech had 3 hits with a double and scored a run.

Washington (3) at St. Louis (1) - Cal Wright (6-1) over Fred Cline (3-5). St. Louis only had 5 hits and Washington only had 6. CF George Kennedy had two of them for Washington and scored a run. Washington lost 7 to 2 on Opening Day vs. Boston and has not lost since, winning 9 in a row now (including one against us).

Down in the International Association, 1B Sol Popko just had a 4 hit day for Syracuse to raise his average to .462. He has 5 doubles and a triple in 9 games. He belongs up here, but I promised Tom Stanley the job at first when I signed him. Unless he goes awfully cold or forgets how to catch a ball, I cannot bench him.
