Tuesday, April 10, 1877, vs. Pittsburgh Alleghenys (1-2 tied for 4th place in the Liberty League)

Our Home Opener. Let's pretend that trip to St. Louis never happened.

Bones Lane, Pitts. (34 L 0-2 1.93) vs. John Bendickson, Troy (25 R 1-2 2.16)

Lost - 5 to 4

We out-hit Pittsburgh 12 to 11 and made fewer errors than they (3 to 4), but lost. Part of the reason is that 5 of their hits were doubles. 3 of them by 3B Bill Spaeth to tie the record. He scored a run and had 2 RBIs. SS Bill Rush had 3 hits for us with a triple and an RBI. John Bendickson had 2 hits and a walk and scored a run. Wish he would start pitching as well as he is hitting. RF Jimmy Gerber was 0 for 5 and is now 1 for 19 on the season. 1B Sol Popko finally had his second hit of the season in the 9th inning but got thrown out at the plate to end the game. You can't win when your 3 and 4 hitters go 3 for 36. They're will be some lineup rearranging next game.

Other Games:
Boston (4) at Philadelphia (5) - Charlie Moss (3-1) over John Callaham (1-1). SS Jimmy Mark had 2 hits with a double and scored a run. CF John Froom, who'd hitting over .500 on the season, pulled a muscle and will be out for 2-3 weeks. Boston 2B Bill Thompson was injured in a collision at the plate and will miss a couple of weeks.

Washington (9) at St. Louis (15) - Fred Cline (1-1) over Cal Wright (1-3). 35 hits and 18 errors in this one. 2B Bub Crawford had 4 hits with a double, scored twice and knocked in 3. RF Joseph Thompson had 5 hits, scored 4 runs and had 2 RBIs. Tied the record for hits and runs in a game. For Washington, Manager/3B Matthias Haak had 3 hits with a double, scored 2 runs and had 4 RBIs.
