OLIVER STEIN CARRIES THE DAY IN BUFFALO
BINGHAMTON RF GOES 5/6 WITH FOUR RUNS & FOUR R.B.I.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (May 31, 1863) – Binghamton B.B.C. (7-13) was able to pull off a surprising 12-10 victory at Niagara in Buffalo on Sunday afternoon, and the result happened largely due to the efforts of one man: star right fielder Oliver Stein.

Stein’s day with the bat against Niagara:

• TOP 1: Single b/w SS & 3B off B. Schmidt
• TOP 3: 1-run Single to b/w SS & 3B off B. Schmidt (stole third, scored)
• TOP 4: 1-run Single past 3B off B. Schmidt (scored)
• TOP 7: Double to RF off B. Schmidt (scored)
• TOP 8: 2-run Double to CF off B. Schmidt (scored)
• TOP 9: Ground Out to 1B off F. Robinette
• TOTAL: 5/6, 2 2B, 4 R, 4 RBI, 1 SB, 7 TB

That Stein’s performance mostly came against Niagara pitcher Bernard Schmidt, who had entered the contest with a 2.31 E.R.A, made it all the more impressive.

Stein ends the first month of N.B.B.O. play with a .381 average, 14 runs scored, and 16 R.B.I.
