A bounce home run by Fred Luderus into the right field stands at Redlands Field is the difference as the Phillies defeat the Reds‚ 3 – 2. Cincinnati Enquirer reporter Jack Ryder writes “the feat was thought impossible.” The ball bounced over a 10-foot high wall 400 feet from home plate. “There is little chance of another hit like that of Luderus being made on this field for many seasons.”
