Text	[Kansas City vs. Cleveland 5/30/1888] In the eighth inning the Clevelands were presented with the winning run. Esterday let Hotaling’s sharp one through his legs and when Faatz drove one to big Jim Davis [3B] he threw the ball past Phillips [1B] and into the crowd in right field and Pete ran home on the throw. Allen [P] got the ball while out of the box and his throw to Donahue [C] would have retired Peter at the plate, had Allen held the ball in position. But he didn’t and Hotaling’s run counted and won the game. ... The rule under which Umpire Ferguson allowed Hotaling to score the winning run in the eighth inning is as follows: Rule 56. “Whenever a block occurs, the umpire shall declare it, and the base runners may run the base, without being put out until the ball has been returned to and held by the pitcher standing in his position.
