Saturday, May 19, 1877, vs. St. Louis Brown Stockings (11-4 1st place in the Liberty League)

We are one game behind St. Louis. This is a big series. We lost 2 out of 3 in the Opening Series of the season at their place.

And we have no centerfielder. I called up Yale Molloy from Rochester along with his .224 average. He's 30 years old and is making his Liberty League debut today. He's not much of a hitter, but a decent defender.

Fred Cline, St.L. (35 R 7-4 2.73) vs. Abe Everette, Troy (28 L 6-0 1.08)

Won - 5 to 3

Abe Everette didn't look quite as impressive against the top team in the League has he did against the others. He allowed 11 hits, though they were all singles. St. Louis did not make an error in the game which made it a struggle for us to score runs, even though we had 14 hits.

I had another O'fer, but enough about me. Leave me alone.

Bill Rush had 3 hits with a double, scored twice and drove in a run. C Eb Burke was the big bat, though; he had 3 hits and 3 RBIs. Yale Molloy had a decent game in his debut: 1 hit and a walk, no errors and made an awesome catch in center.

Everette may not have been as impressive overall as his last few games, but he came up clutch in the 9th. After the first 2 Brown Stockings reached base (1 by hit, 1 by error), he sat down the last three in a row, striking out the final 2.

Other Games:
Washington (7) at Philadelphia (8) in 10 innings - Charlie Moss (6-9) over Dick Wheeler (1-2) in relief of Cal Wright. Philadelphia scored 4 times in the bottom of the 9th to tie the game and then after Washington scored a run in the top of the 10th, plated 2 in the bottom to win. CF John Froom had 4 hits with 2 doubles and scored twice, including the winning run.

Boston (14) at Pittsburgh (3) - Charlie Morlock (5-4) over Bones Lane (6-8). Lane has pitched mostly well this season, but not this game. He gave up 7 runs in the 1st inning. 1B George Zech had 2 doubles and a walk, scored a run and drove one in. LF Fred Swanger had 3 hits with 2 doubles, scored twice and knocked in 3. SS Paul Fenner had 3 hits with a double and a triple and scored 3 times.
