On the last day of the North Carolina State League season, the Asheville Tourists and Winston-Salem Twins decide to advance the start of their afternoon game by a half hour to allow Winston-Salem to catch an early train home. They also play the game at breakneck speed, with players running to and from their positions on the field, pitchers lobbing the ball to the batters, who swing at every pitch and then run until tagged out. Winston-Salem wins the game, 2 – 1, in 31 minutes. The teams forget to advise the umpire of the change of time, and three innings have already been played by the time he shows up at the ballpark. The game only receives local coverage and will be completely forgotten until a researcher unearths an account a half-century later.
