Text	[Excelsior vs. Union 9/7/1860] The Excelsiors, for the first time this season, were the recipients of similar treatment to that they have been in the habit of giving to others, their score of “runs in each innings” being marked with no less than five cyphers, and their total score of runs being the small figure of 7!–the lowest score they have ever made in a match. This result was chiefly owing the very effective pitching of young Hannegan, of the Unions, who imparted such a twist to the balls he pitched, that it was almost impossible to hit them squarely and fairly into the field, and when they were so hit, they were so well fielded that the bases were but seldom reached, and even then, the close attention Hannegan gave them rendered it necessary to be very careful in retaining them.
