15+1⁄3innings pitched, he allowed 40 hits and 36 runs while striking out three batters and walking nine batters. [1] [2] As a batter, he had one hit in six at bats for a .167 batting average. [1]
Minor league records, incomplete for the era, list Goar as playing in the Western League during 1895–1897, and for the Indianapolis Hoosiers in 1900. [3]
Goar is noted for an unusual inning pitched when playing for the minor-league Anderson Tigers in the Indiana State League. [4] On May 30, 1890, he reportedly allowed six hits (three triples, one double, and two singles) in a single inning without a run scoring. [4] The unusual sequence of events included two runners being tagged out at the plate, and the final out coming when a batted ball hit a baserunner (which officially credits the batter with a hit). [5]
Personal life
Goar was born in New Lisbon, Indiana, in 1870, and he died in 1947 in New Castle, Indiana. [1] He was survived by his wife and two daughters. [6]
