Mike Kelly and Ezra Sutton score 6 runs each‚ a Major League record for 2 teammates

ByThis Day in Baseball

August 27, 1887 – Mike Kelly and Ezra Sutton score 6 runs each‚ a Major League record for 2 teammates‚ as the Boston Beaneaters trounce the Alleghenies 28-14. The score is the biggest ever yielded by a Pittsburgh Major League team.  

1887 – At the Mets’ grounds on Staten Island‚ Philadelphia Athletic batter Gus Weyhing hits an apparent triple that RF Ed Hogan kicks into the stage of the play “The Fall of Babylon.” Since the ground rules at the park call for a double on hits into the theatrical set‚ the umpire orders Weyhing back to second base. After a futile argument‚ the Athletics leave the field and forfeit the game‚ 9 – 7.
