Wednesday, June 4, 1879, at Providence Grays (15-12 3rd in the Liberty League)

Deacon Wilson finally signed our contract offer. We put him on the active roster.

We lost 2 of 3 in Troy last time we met the Grays.

John Bendickson, Troy (27 R 12-6 1.67 0.6/3.2 BB/K) vs. Will Taylor, Prov. (32 L 4-4 1.18 0.6/4.8 BB/K)

Won - 10 to 7

Bendickson was awesome for 8 innings. We were up 10 to 1 going into the bottom of the 9th and they scored 6 times on 6 hits and 3 errors. He gave up 14 hits, walked 2 and struck out 7.

We made 4 errors, 3 of them in the 9th.

We had 13 hits and the Grays made 8 errors.

I had 3 hits with a double, a walk, scored twice, had an RBI and made an error in the 9th. 1B John Demick had 2 hits with a double, scored twice, knocked in 2 and made an error. LF John Powers had 2 hits with a double, scored 2 runs and had an RBI.

For the Grays, 2B John Meredith played in his first game of the season due to an injury. He had 4 hits with a double, scored a run and had 2 RBIs.

Other Games:

Cincinnati (1) at Utica (6) - George Dennis (7-3) over Fred Cline (0-2). Dennis allowed 6 hits and struck out one. 2B Bub Crawford had 3 hits with 2 doubles, scored a run and had an RBI. CF Bobby Hubbard had 3 hits, stole a base, scored twice and had an RBI. Rookie RF Joe Coffey sprained his ankle and will miss 2 weeks or so.

Baltimore (4) at Boston (3) - William Rose (10-8) over Charlie Moss (8-5). Rose allowed 9 hits, walked a batter and struck out one. RF Reuben Frohman had 4 hits with a double and a triple, stole a base and had 2 RBIs.

Louisville (13) at Worcester (3) - Buck Richards (3-12) over John Callaham (5-5). Richards allowed 8 hits, walked one and struck out 3. Callaham has lost 3 starts in a row and 4 of his last 5. He gave up 17 hits, all singles. 1B Jim Booker had 4 hits, scored a run and had an RBI. LF John Rodgers had 3 hits, stole 2 bases and scored 2 runs. C Doc Cole had 4 hits, scored twice and had 3 RBIs.


Down in the National Association, OF Stub Orlando pulled a muscle in his side and will miss a month. Outfielders are evaporating and there are no more free agents to sign.
