Greenfield Village
Bay City 12, Mules 5 –
Stubborn Mules
Greenfield Village, Dearborn, Michigan – The second match of the day would see the ballists of the candy cane hosiery take the field against the Canal Fulton Mules from Ohio. This would be the second time these clubs would meet in World Tournament play, and if the last match was any indicator, it would be a fine game indeed.
The Mules would win the coin toss and their fine captain, Ed Shuman, would defer to Bay City and his club took the field. Bay City would retain their striking momentum from the previous match and would put five runs in the ledger before losing their three hands in the innings. The runs would be scored by a combination of daisy cutters and stolen bases by the likes of Misters LeRoux, Kid Garcia, Doc Garcia, Dennis Dinauer, and Revette. The Mules were stubborn as can be and refused to be whitewashed themselves and place two tallies in the books to make the match a tight scratch at 5-2.
In the second innings the Bay Citys would tally again with four straight safeties by Misters Banister, Brissette, Freehling and O’Laughlin. All of this action would take place after the first two strikers in the innings would find themselves out, and two aces would be made when Banister and Brissette crossed the plate. The Mules would answer again with a run scored by Mr. Koster, and the match would now stand at 7-3 in favor of the Independents.
The third innings would be a whitewash for both clubs, but in the fourth innings the gentlemen of the scarlet and white would push another ace across the table at their foes from Ohio way. After skunking the Mules in the fourth the Bay Citys would tally again when the law firm of Banister and Brissette would garnish two more runs for their mates. After yet another skunking in the fifth for the Mules, the score would now stand at 10-3 for Bay City.
Kid Garcia would tally in the sixth innings for the Independents and “Shoeless Jeff” Dinauer would do the same in the seventh innings. The Mules would see another goose egg laid on their doorstep in the sixth innings, but in the seventh innings they would mount a near furious come back. Mr. Walker and Mr. Knoch would each tally in the innings for the Ohio boys, while Mr. Testa would reach his second and threaten to score before the third hand would be put out by the Bay Citys. The Scoring for the Mules was furious at the end, but it would not be enough as the Independents would find themselves victorious again on the day with a score of 12-5.
