The huge Redleg total of 22 runs and 22 hits was even more than Cincinnati's new scoreboard could handle. It was set to go only as high as 19 runs and 19 hiLs in the to'als so by the seventh inning the board had run out of numbers.

It was a reasonably close ball game for three innings but there was a hint of what might be coming in the fourth as Jeffcoat and Bell homered to give Cincinnati a 5-t lead.
