FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY
»May 8, 1912:
The Giants score nine runs by the 3rd inning and young Jeff Tesreau holds on for an 11–8 win over the Cardinals. Christy Mathewson relieves in the 9th for New York. In the 7th inning, with a man on third, Tesreau grounds to SS Wally Smith, whose throw to 1B hits ump Brick Owens in the head knocking him out (as noted by Retrosheet). Owens' wife, who is watching from the grandstands, faints. The runner is sent back to 3B and Tesreau hits again. Owens is back at work tomorrow.
