Wednesday, August 8, 1877, at Washington Olympics (13-25 6th place in the Liberty League)
John Bendickson, Troy (25 R 10-8 2.37) vs. Rufus Lee, Wash. (26 R 5-10 3.08)
Won - 5 to 3
Okay, Rufus Lee is the greatest pitcher in the world, I guess. We did not beat him today, his teammates gave us the game with their generous errors. We only had 4 hits: 2 by Sol Popko, 1 by me and 1 by backup C Jerry Bern. Everybody else in the lineup has gone cold as ice of late.
John Bendickson held them to only 1 run until the 7th inning when we already had the game in hand at 5 to 1.
SS Bill Rush did not handle a chance in the entire game.
