Mills of the Washington Club Strikes Two Long Balls—Washington Defeats Cleveland—Score 7 to 6.
New York Times
Washington. June 26, 1871.
The base-ball spectators at the Olympics' Grounds were witness to-day to a rare spectacle, MILLS of the Olympics struck two balls into the Right field stands. The two long struck balls were part of a day in which MILLS safely secured a base all six times he came to bat. He alone counted for thirteen bases for the Olympics. His final long ball was struck in the tenth inning, driving home the winning tally.
