DAVIDSON TIES N.B.B.O. RECORD WITH 8 R.B.I!
GREEN MTN. OUTFIELDER DRIVES IN EIGHT RUNS ON JUST THREE HITS IN BIG WIN

MANCHESTER, N.H. (June 15, 1865) – Green Mountain easily won a contest between teams from the neighboring states of New Hampshire & Vermont on Thursday, taking the game by a dozen runs.

Green Mountain leadoff man George Decker was 4/6 with three R.B.I. and a pair of steals, and club legend Anthony Mascherino was 2/5, but the player of the game was #4 batsmen Oscar Davidson, who tied one of the more notable National Base Ball Organization records with his performance at the plate:

• T1: Fielder’s Choice at 2B to end inning
• T3: 2-run Double to RF off C. Stadisch
• T5: 2-run Double to RCF off C. Stadisch
• T7: 3-run Double to RF off C. Stadisch (scored)
• T8: 1-run Ground Out to 2B off W. Orr
• TOTAL: 3/5, 3 2B, 1 R, 8 RBI (TIED N.B.B.O. RECORD), 6 TB

Davidson is the third player in N.B.B.O. history to drive in eight runs in a single game. Victory’s Joseph Paige was the first to do it on July 2nd of 1857, and Samuel Pezzi of Minuteman did it on July 5th of 1862.
