On June 18, 2005 the Tri-Cities Fever played a National Indoor Football League game at Three Rivers Coliseum, in Kennewick, Washington against the Lincoln Capitols. The home team won the game by a score of 100-17. I had hoped to find more information on this event however, I was unable to do so. I was hoping at the very least to find out how the scoring went by quarters.
Among other events occurring on June 18th in past years:
In 1893 the Cincinnati Reds defeated the Louisville Colonels by a score of 30-12.
In 1895 the Detroit Tigers of the Western Leagur defeated the Grand Rapids Gold Bugs by a score of 27-11. The Gold Bugs later became the the Cleveland Indians.
In 1932 League Park in San Antonio, Texas burned down.
In 1941 in Northeast Arkansas League Clarence Iott of the Paragould cardinals struck out 25 Batesville Pilot batters in a 4-2 win.
In 1953 The Boston Red Sox set a modern day record with a 17 run 7th inning in a 23-3 win over the Detroit Tigers
In 2001 The East Coast Hockey League approved the transfers of the Hampton Roads, Virginia Club to Columbus, Georgia and the Tallahassee, Florida Club to Macon, Georgia.
These seven events are among 34 June 18th events profiled in my upcoming book!!
Tomorrow we look at Baseballs first game under New York rules.
