Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 19, Number 86, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 July 1898 — It Was a Good Game. [ARTICLE]

It Was a Good Game.

The Morocco-Rensselaer Ball game at Riverside Athletic Park Wednesday was well attended despite the warm weather. The Morocco boys showed up nice in their natty white uniforms and put up a good game but were unfortunate in making errors at critical times. Rensselaer boys played their usual game and our city may well feel prottd of her base ball team. Morocco started the score in the second inning with one tally and it looked as though our colts had finally struck a circumstance but Reynolds pitched a remarkable game and struck out ten men so nothing but ciphers showed up in their columns until the last inning when by a streak of good tatting they piled up two. Rensselaer could not pound the sphere the first two innings but tumbled onto Pitcher Schlosser in great shape in the fourth and a big figure 5 showed up on the score board. It was all over then but the shouting and our boys kept up the gait until they had reached the dozen mark when they were satisfied. The score was as follows: Morocco 01 0 0 0000 2 3 Rensselaer 0 0 250020 3 —12 Batteries, Rensselaer —Reynolds and Merika. Morocco —Schlosser and Hess.
