Text | [Active vs. Irvington 10/3/1866] [H. Campbell at third base] M. Campbell at this junction hit a ball to Collins [third baseman] and ran for his 1st base; Collins picked up the ball just back of the line of the base, and at the same moment H. Campbell, waiting until Collins made the motion to throw to first base, started to run home. Collins was close by at the time and was on the lookout for a point, and holding the ball instead of throwing it as he had motioned to do, turned suddenly upon Campbell and touched him, thus cutting a sure run off in the nick of time, M. Campbell reaching his base. This play had quite a discouraging effect on the Irvingtons, for it was like taking the victory right out of their hands. |
