That was due to an old rule in Baseball that doesn't exist anymore. If a game was tied after the fifth inning and it started raining and the umpires decided that play could not continue, the game was considereda no contestas far as wins and losses were concerned but not as far as a player's statistics were concerned. So whatever the player did in the game (hit a home run, made an error, struckout, etc.) would be counted towards his yearly stats. If a similar situation arose today, the game would be restarted at a later date at the point that the umpires called it.
