TWO ODD OME-BALL RECORDS First Ball Ed Walsh Pitched in Game Crawford Knocked Over Fence for Home Run. Here are two records recalled by a baseball statistician some time ago: In a game between Chicago and Detroit De-troit years ago, with the bases filled and Sam Crawford at oat, Ed Walsh was sent to the mound. He pitched one ball and "n'alioo Sam" slammed 'tarn Crawford. it over the fence for a home rm . Four runs scored off a pitcher on one pitched ball is ban to beat. In 1910, at Portsmouth, O., n relief pitcher was put in with two men on bases. lie pitched one hall, and the batsman hit into a triple play. Tims the twirler secured credit for pitching an iit ire inning when he only delivered deliv-ered a solitary heave.
