Philadelphia Upended by Indianapolis, 8-2
Indianapolis registered a win at Western Grounds by beating the Philadelphia Unions, 8-2. Pitcher Bill McDonald was one reason why the Westerners triumphed. McDonald, now 3-2, was the winner. In 9 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 3, walking 3, and allowing 2 runs. The Unions, now 5-10, continue their sluggish start.

The outcome was still in doubt with two out in the top of the sixth inning, but McDonald was able to pitch out of a jam. With runners on 2nd and 3rd and Philadelphia trailing 4-2, McDonald retired Dave Foley, who struck out.
