[National vs. Utica 6/23/1879] The score was tied at the end of the ninth, and in the inning following the Uticas had been blanked, and the Nationals had two men out and a base-runner on third, when Keefe pitched a ball which passed the catcher, and the man on third scored the winning run for the Nationals. The Uticas, however, claimed that the passed ball was dead, having touched the batsman, and the crowd took possession of the ground, causing great confusion. The umpire at first decided in favor of the Nationals, but afterwards reversed his decision, and erroneously decided it a draw.
