I don't have anything definitive on Fulmer's hit, just some deductive reasoning. I looked at the NY Clipper but found no mention of exactly when Fulmer got the hit. However, the box score tells me that Baltimore only got four baserunners in 12 innings (one hit, one SOE, two walks). Kilroy, the #9 hitter, scored their only run, in the sixth inning. Fulmer, the leadoff batter, got their only hit. I can't come up with any scenario for scoring the run without the hit figuring into it that's more likely than the run scoring because Fulmer advanced Kilroy with the hit. I also think that if Fulmer hadn't gotten the hit until extra innings, the Clipper's one-paragraph account of the game would have mentioned it. Again, deductive reasoning, but if Fulmer didn't get the hit in the sixth inning, it would've been much tougher to score that run.
Incidentally, two days earlier, Ramsey pitched another one-hitter against Baltimore, with the only hit by Pat O'Connell.
