Denny Lyons never touches second and scores the winning run in the 9th inning to lead Pittsburgh to a 7 – 6 win over Washington
On June 20, 1894, Denny Lyons scores the winning run in the 9th inning to lead Pittsburgh to a 7 – 6 win over Louisville. Lyons gets into scoring position by running from first base to third base – across the pitcher’s mound – on a fielder’s choice by Jack Glasscock. The umpire does not see Lyons’s transgression, a common one in the 1890s. and he scores on Lou Bierbauer’s hit. Red Ehret, is the hard-luck loser.
