Text | [Trimountain vs. Lowell 9/28/1867] This strong point in the new champions is strengthened by their manner of running bases. They are nearly all swift-footed, and excel in “getting down” on the base at narrow chances. Kelley's play on Saturday was a good example of this, especially his making the home base on one occasion. … Kelly...sent a good one to left, getting his second... He then stole to third and made his home on a passed ball by Wilder [catcher]--narrowly escaping an out by sliding. |
