THE 1878 MILWAUKEE GRAYS

May 7, 1878 at Indianapolis
Grays tie the Blues, 2-2
Season record: 0-3-1

Owing to the threatening aspect of the weather the game here, today, began an hour later than announced. The attendance was fair, and the game unusually interesting, from the fact that the clubs seemed to be equally matched. The Milwaukees proved strong at the bat, but the Indianapolis made the only earned run. At the end of the ten innings the score stood, 2 to 2, and was called on account of darkness. [note: both the Grays and Indianapolis Blues were the only winless teams, sharing the same record.]

Notable
- The box score is hard to read, but looks like Milwaukee had 8 errors – four by the pitcher Weaver – while Indianapolis had 10 errors. I guess no surprise why both were winless. No one had more than one hit for the Grays.
