At Redland Field‚ Pittsburgh’s Clyde Barnhart hits a 9th-inning line drive down the right field line that gets lost in the tarp in front of the grandstand. By the time RF Pat Duncanfinds the ball‚ Barnhart scores his first major league homer inside-the-park to tie the match at 2 – 2. Eppa Rixey gives up the homer but holds on for a 4 – 3‚ 13-inning victory. It is the only homer Rixey will allow in 301 innings pitched‚ and just one of two homers Reds pitchers will allow at home this season. Except for this‚ Rixey would have set the record for post-dead ball pitchers‚ a record that Allen Sothoron will post this year in fewer innings.
