Text	[Cincinnati vs. Haymaker 10/24/1870] In the fifth inning...the Reds made [a run] by a lucky accident. Waterman was at the bat, preparing to strike at what he thought was a favorable ball. The ball, however, came closer to his head than he anticipated, and he ducked to avoid it, leaving his bat sticking up in the air. The ball struck the bat with such force that it bounded forward midway between pitcher and first base, where it was picked up and fielded to second, to head off Gould, but without success. Up to this time Waterman was not sure whether he should run to his base or not, as he did not know Ferguson’s [the umpire] decision as to whether it was a hit or not. The latter ruled it as a fair hit, and Waterman just got to his base in time, the Haymakers having foolishly lost a chance of a fine double play.
