7/18/1889 – The Philadelphia Phillies were hosting the Pittsburgh Alleghenys. The home team elected to bat first and scored three runs in the top of the first. In the bottom of the first, Pittsburgh had a man on first and two outs with the number four hitter, Al Maul, due to bat. However, James “Deacon” White, the number five batter in the lineup hit a double that scored the runner. The Phillies appealed, and Tom Lynch, the umpire, correctly called Maul out to end the inning without the run counting.
