Four timely hits in the first inning brought in two of their runs, Wrenn's wild throw to first and a wild pitch let in another run in the second, and two safe hits...

The words are often used with very little...
...beginning of the seventh inning, the last inning of the game, the score stood 6 to 5 in favor of the first nine. Then both batteries went to pieces. Cozzens was hit for three singles and a two-bagger. Morton, the catcher for the first nine, let in two runs on a wild throw to second and a fumble at the plate. These hits and errors brought in four runs for the second nine. In the last half of the inning Gregory gave five men their base on balls and was hit for two singles. Scott made two wild throws...
