Text | [Independent vs. Monument 9/9/1859] All this innings [the seventh] the pitcher of the Monument pitched over the striker4, and also delayed the innings by not catching the ball from the catcher. The pitcher insisted on closing the game, saying it was too dark, which was not so, as the fielder had not found any fault. If fair balls had been pitched the innings might have been finished and the Monuments won the game fairly. [The score reverted to the end of the sixth, Monuments winning 14-11] |
