Tuesday, May 7, 1878, vs. Brooklyn Atlantics (5-7 5th in the Liberty League)
Were are 5-1 all-time against Yurkovich, all of the games back in '76 when he pitched for Philadelphia. When I was putting the Haymakers together back in the Winter of '75-76, I almost signed Yurkovich as my #1 pitcher. He is, without a doubt, the hardest throwing pitcher in baseball.
Pop Yurkovich, Bkln. (26 R 4-7 2.47 0.6/3.4 BB/K) vs. John Bendickson, Troy (26 R 6-5 2.94 0.9/3.1 BB/K)
Won - 5 to 2
Brooklyn out-hit us 8 to 6, but we only made 1 error and they made 5. It's the first time we've made fewer than 3 errors in a game this year and we only made as few as 3 once before today. Ends a streak of 10 games in a row with at least 4.
RF Dave Taylor had 2 hits with a triple, scored a run and had 2 RBIs.
4 of Bendy's last 5 starts have been really good and the 5th one wasn't too bad.
