Federals Get 4-2 Win Versus Pittsburgh
Washington Federals starter Tom Ewart pitched a strong game against the Pittsburgh Vulcans at Capitol Park, leading the Federals to victory, 4-2. The Vulcans drop to 6-8, as their stumbling start to the 1887 season continues.

Jim Bayles hit a bases-clearing triple off George Ashe in the bottom of the fourth, which put the Federals in front, 4-1. Bayles had 1 single, in addition to the triple. For the game, he went 2 for 3.

Bayles called the win a testament to his team's "tenacity."
