Text	[Mutual vs. Baltimore 6/9/1874] In the sixth inning it was thought the game would be brought to an abrupt termination. Burdock was at the bat, with Hatfield on second base. Burdock hit outside of third base, where Carey was standing for the purpose of working his men, and he, thinking the ball a foul one, struck it with his right hand. Burdock after striking the ball went to first base, and before Ryan of the home club could secure the ball Hatfield reached the home plate. Warren of the Baltimore Club objected to the run of Burdock and Hatfield, on the ground that the ball, having struck Carey, became a dead ball, and consequently neither Burdock nor Hatfield had the right to score. Higham of the Mutuals became greatly excited, and claimed that if Hatfield was deprived of his run the Mutuals would withdraw from the game. The umpire finally decided that the ball which struck Carey was a dead one, and ordered Burdock back to the plate and Hatfield to second base. New York Clipper June 20, 1874, quoting the Baltimore Sun.
