June. 9th ~ Pittsburgh scored 7 runs in the top half of the 8th inning with the help of
several intentional misplays by Philadelphia. The Phillies, who were leading at the end of
seven 1-0, thought the game should be called because of darkness and a pending rainstorm.
One pitcher hit a batter and committed a balk, and when challenged about it, got mad and
refused to pitch. The umpire asked him to leave. His replacements threw wildly and refused
to play right. With no prospects of the team making any outs, umpire Bill Klem called the
game in favor of the Pirates.
