Text | [Union of Lansingburgh vs. Mutual 9/25/1867] The sky had been threatening rain for some time, and it was plainly seen that when it did come it would be no child’s play. The fifth innings was commenced by the Mutuals with an evident intention of getting through in a jiffy. The first two strikers were not very particular what kind of balls they hit at, and were easily put out. Waterman attempted to strike out, but finally hit the ball and took his base. Bearman then went to the bat and Waterman started to walk round his bases. The Unions shows no disposition to interfere with him, and when Bearman hit the ball, it was plainly evident that the “Haymakers” did not try to put him out, as they refused to field the ball. Waterman came in on Bearman’s hit and Hunt went to the bat. Charley hit a high foul, which Craver took nicely on the fly, thus acting squarely and putting his fellows to shame. |
