The Brooklyners were on the road playing in Pittsburgh today, as Adonis Terry and the boys took on Cap Anson’s men. Pittsburgh took the early lead and the Atlantics did not get their first hit until the sixth inning, but after that they put a number of them together, scoring five runs in the seventh inning. That was all they needed, as the final was 5-4 in favor of Brooklyn. Substitute Ike Benners got the big hit of the game, a two-run double that scored two men.
Meanwhile, the club also signed a free agent just before the trip, catcher Charlie Ingraham. He has no major league experience, but he was included in a trade between Baltimore and Pittsburgh last season. The Pittsburgh club gave him his release, and in return he played in today’s game as a defensive replacement. They say Ingraham is a strong defensive catcher.
