[Boston vs. Mutual 5/8/1872] At the close of the fifth inning the Bostons had not only earned 7 runs off Cumming’s pitching, but they had scored 15 first-base hits and 20 total bases–a result which would have warranted a change of pitching. Instead, however, the pace was dropped, and a fire of alternately medium and fast balls was kept up, which proved more effective than the “pacers.
