Text | [Cleveland vs. Worcester 6/12/1880] Our Worcester, Mass., correspondent sends us the appended account of an exceptional contest which took place there on June 12, between the Worcester and Cleveland nines. It was not so much from the small score—1 to 0—as it was from the fact that the Clevelands did not make a base-hit or even reach first base a single time, and the Worcesters did not make a fielding error. … Glasscock then struck out, and Hanlon came up looking determined, hitting the first ball pitched to Irwin, who threw him out beautifully at first, ending the game amidst loud cheering by the assemblage, as it had fallen to their lot to witness the greatest game of the season. Richmond was unable to get off the field for a few moments, owing to the crowd that surrounded him and showered congratulations on him. |
