Thursday, July 4, 1878, at Brooklyn Atlantics (15-14 3rd in the Liberty League)

Big Changes! Well, one anyway.....I broke down and called up C Henry Newman and sent Wilson Schroeder to Rochester. Our offense needs a spark.

John Bendickson, Troy (26 R 16-9 2.10 0.6/3.0 BB/K) vs. Pop Yurkovich, Bkln. (26 R 13-13 2.13 0.9/2.9 BB/K)

Won - 4 to 0

Bendy with our first shutout of the season! They came close to scoring once when they had a runner on third with only 1 out. They even got an infield hit, but the runner held and we wiggled out of it.

0 errors 2 games ago, 10 last time and 1 today. The only error was by C Harry Newman, who dropped a foul popup. He had 1 hit in his debut. LF Dave Taylor had 2 hits and 2 RBIs. 1B Sol Popko had 2 hits with a double. Please! Let him be coming out of his spiral. It's as simple as this: if he starts hitting like the days of old, we win the Pennant going away. If he continues to hit .200, we will have to fight tooth and nail to win every game and I'll be driven to an early grave.

Other Games:
Providence (3) at Cincinnati (2) - Will Taylor (18-10) over Fred Cline (10-7). Cline held Providence to 5 hits. And Cincinnati only made 2 errors to the Grays' 3. C Billy Sullivan hit 2 doubles and scored a run.

Boston (6) at Washington (3) - Charlie Moss (15-13) over Bones Lane (7-20). Each team only had 8 hits, but the Olympics made 11 errors ro Boston's 3. 2B Billy Little had 2 hits, stole a base, and knocked in 2 runs. 1B Frank Helms had 3 hits, stole a base and had an RBI.
