Wednesday, August 1, 1877, at Washington Olympics (12-24 6th place in the Liberty League)

We are 6-0 against Washington so far, so I guess we are due for a surprise or two.

John Bendickson, Troy (25 R 9-7 2.59) vs. Rufus Lee, Wash. (26 R 4-9 3.47)

Won - 4 to 1 in 14 innings

Well, 1 game and 1 surprise. Rufus Lee, last in the League in ERA among qualifiers, shut us down and good. We scored in the 2nd inning and they scored in the 3rd and then everything got real quiet until the 14th inning. 3 times in the game we had a runner on third base with less than 2 outs and did not score a run. We got out of some tight jams, too. 3 times, they had a runner on third with less than 2 outs and did not score. In the bottom of the 11th they had runners at 2nd and 3rd and nobody out and I was already making plans for where I was going to eat supper, but they did not score.

Bill Rush, Bobby Hubbard and Dave Taylor each had a triple for us.

Me and Poppy, the two best hitters on the team went 1 for 14 against this bum. And my 1 hit was in the 14th to drive in the 3rd run of the inning, which had little value to winning the game.

Other Games:
Philadelphia (1) at Pittsburgh (2) - Bones Lane (16-18) over Charlie Moss (18-20). The game was tied at 1, when Pittsburg opened the bottom of the 9th by getting 2 men on with back-to-back errors and then 2B John Bohler singled in the winner. Charlie Moss held Pittsburgh to 6 hits, but Bones Lane held Philly to 4, 3 of them by 2B Jim Ware and 2 of those doubles. He knocked in Philadelphia's only run, but also made one of those 2 errors in the 9th.

Boston (3) at St. Louis (5) - Socks Hawkins (10-6) over Charlie Morlock (13-17). Hawkins held Boston to 4 hits. SS Fred Young had 2 hits with a double and scored 2 runs. 3B Rube Ford, who started his Liberty League career with a bang, has only 1 hit in his last 4 games.
