KESSLER GRABS HANDFUL OF HITS & RBI IN VICTORY
11X ALL-STAR LEADS LINEUP THAT OVERPOWERS READING IN EIGHTEEN-RUN WIN


READING, PENN. (May 25, 1870) – It took a couple of innings for them to warm up, but once Alleghany’s attack was ready to go on Wednesday afternoon their hosts didn’t stand a chance at the Rasmussen Grounds:




The 28 base hits were a season high for Alleghany, and as one might imagine there were a number of batsmen in on the act:
Royal Altman (LF): 3/4, 2B, 2 R, 1 RBI, 4 TB
Carl Ippolito (2B: 4/6, 2 2B, 2 3B, 3 R, 4 RBI, 10 TB
Grover McKenzie (RF): 3/6, 2B, 2 R, 3 RBI, 4 TB
Ben Stiltner (C): 3/6, 2B, 1 R, 2 RBI, 4 TB
Gerald Strong (SS): 3/6, 2B, 3 R, 3 RBI, 1 SB, 4 TB
However, none of those five took home Player of the Game honors because Samuel Kessler was magnificent:
T1: 1-run Double to LCF off T. Stewart
T3: 1-run Single past 3B off T. Stewart (R)
T4: 1-run Fielder’s Choice to 2B off T. Stewart (R)
T5: 1-run Double to RCF off I. Sterling (R)
T7: 1-run Single past SS off I. Sterling
T8: Leadoff Single to RF off F. Boudet (PO)
TOTAL: 5/6, 2B, 3 R, 5 RBI, 1 BB, 85 GMSC
Alleghany also belted a dozen Extra-Base Hits in the game (9 2B, 3 3B), the most in the NBBO this season, as they pushed their record to 10-6 in the Inland Championship.
