July 1877

July brought the sun and a change in fortunes for Edge Hill Red Stockings after the slow start to their season. They started July with a competitive 6-3 win against Cavendish in which Dennis Hughes became the first player in the British leagues to be recorded stealing home. Edge Hill went on to put on a show for the crowds that frequented the new league’s games with a 16-4 victory at Longsight, 11-7 at Moss Lane, a 13-18 defeat at the hands of Princes Park and an 11-4 victory at Cavendish, their only other defeat in the 8 games of July was against Moss Lane.
Cavendish Base Ball Club had a month to forget losing 7 of their 8 games in July, Moss Lane and Princes Park matched pace with one another winning 5 and losing 3.

Michael Johnston continues to dominate the batting averages with .427 as July comes to a close, Daniel Wilson had a month to remember at the bat and hit his way to the top of the RBI table with 20 by the end of July.
