9/25/1915 – The Pirates had catcher George Gibson batting eighth and the pitcher ninth in their game against the Braves in Pittsburgh. In the seventh inning, Zip Collins pinch hit for Gibson and Leo Murphy for pitcher Al Mamaux. Murphy remained in the game catching and the new pitcher, Phil Slattery, was placed in the eighth spot in the lineup. However, in the bottom of the ninth, the Bucs had a runner on a two out. The next batter should have been Slattery but Murphy came up one slot early and struck out to end the game.
