ROPER FANTASTIC IN DOMINANT FLOUR CITY WIN
ALL-STAR OUTFIELDER FINISHES WITH 5 H, 4 R, & 4 RBI IN TEN-RUN VICTORY AT BINGHAMTON

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (May 12, 1870) – Flour City went back above .500 after seven games thanks to a double-digit win at Binghamton on Thursday afternoon:

There was one clear Player of the Game for Flour City: 2x All-Star outfielder Reginald Roper…

• T1: 2-run Single to RCF off H. Todd
• T3: Leadoff Single past 2B off H. Todd (CS)
• T5: Single to CF off H. Todd (R)
• T6: 2-run Double past 1B off H. Todd (R)
• T8: Reached via Base on Balls by M. Hales (SB, R)
• T9: Single past 2B off C. Hanford (R)
• TOTAL: 5/5, 2 2B, 4 R, 4 RBI, 1 SB, 7 TB, 101 GMSC

The performance left Roper’s average at an even .500 through seven games, with the batsman already looking likely to make his third All-Star team in as many seasons in the NBBO. He has been a wonderful player for Flour City since joining them in February of 1868.
