Wednesday, June 26, 1878, at Brooklyn Atlantics (13-14 4th in the Liberty League)
We beat Brooklyn 2 of 3 at our place the first time we met.
Bobby Hubbard had 9 hits in 4 games at Rochester and since I am sick of Wash Horsfall in right field, I called Booby back and sent Yale Molloy down to Rochester.
John Bendickson, Troy (26 R 16-8 2.03 0.7/3.1 BB/K) vs. Pop Yurkovich, Bkln. (26 R 11-13 2.22 0.9/2.9 BB/K)
Once again, John Bendickson was just cruising through a team's lineup, allowing Brooklyn only 2 hits through 8 innings. However, we were only up 2 to 0, because we could only muster 5 hits against Yurkovich.
So, we got to the bottom of the 9th and the sequence goes:
PH, Willie English - Double to right center
LF, Willie Schommer - Single to left, runner holds at third
2B, Kid Angell (career .175 vs. Bendy) - Home Run to left, game over.
Lost - 3 to 2
We have gone 16-4 in our last 20 games, but I feel like we are the crappiest team that ever stepped on a baseball diamond.
We did manage to make it through the game without committing an error, though.
Other Games:
Providence (1) at Cincinnati (6) - Fred Cline (9-6) over Will Taylor (17-9). Cline held the Grays to 6 hits. SS Jim Ware had 2 hits with a triple and an RBI.
Boston (4) at Washington (5) - Bones Lane (6-19) over Charlie Moss (14-12). Lane held Boston to 7 hits. He led off the bottom of the 9th with a double and scored the winning run on LF John Rodgers' double. SS Joe O'Neill had 3 hits, including an infield single between those 2 9th inning doubles. 2B Bub Crawford had a double and a triple, scored a run and had 2 RBIs.
