[Cincinnati vs. Atlantics 10/26/1870] G. Wright then went to the bat, and for a second time struck out, but Ferguson failed to hold it at once. He picked the up quickly, however, and rushing forward, touched George Wright, quite forgetting that he was practically a dead man, as Leonard was running the bases for him, and he was the person to touch or be put out at first. This slip created great confusion, but the umpire was perfectly correct. Gould then went to the bat, and by a splendid drive to right-field brought G. Wright and McVey home and reached his third.
