Text | [Athletic vs. Mutual 6/1/1872] In the eighth inning, after two hands were out, the Athletics again got three men on bases and Cuthbert at the bat. Two balls were called and one strike before he made an attempt to hit the ball. Then he sent up two fouls, after which he hit and missed the ball—the second strike. Two balls were pitched without the umpires [sic] saying anything; but when Cummings sent a fair ball right over the base and Cuthbert failed to strike at it, Ferguson called the third strike, for doing which he was heartily applauded. |
