He entered the game with two out in the top of the ninth inning, and the Reds behind 18-0. The pitcher he came in to relieve was 15-year-old Joe Nuxhall, who had just made his historic major league debut. Eisenhart walked the first batter he faced, George Fallon, then got the last out, retiring opposing pitcher Mort Cooper on a foul out. [The Cardinals scored 18 runs, left 18 men on base and made 27 outs, meaning the final two batters were the last two men in the batting order. cite news |title=National League Box Scores |work=The Sporting News |page=18 |date=1944-06-15 ] His total major league experience ended up being 1/3 of an inning pitched and a final earned run average of 0.00.
