Errors in historical leagues

In early baseball there were a lot and i mean a lot more errors by players.
So i understand the players having a lot of errors in the game.
The problem i see is that a lot of them happen at once in a game.
I've seen the first basemen miss being overthrown on 7 consecutive batters. Outfielders dropping the ball 5 times in a row.
This would be very rare if happened in the real leagues but it happens all the time in early leagues.
What this does is run up the score.
The errors should be there but do they need to happen all at once?
Just seems a bit unrealistic to me.
