Columbians Hand Milwaukee 8-4 Loss
The New York Columbians picked up a win at Columbia Field, dropping the Milwaukee Creams, 8-4. Tom Ewart, who finished 4th in the FL in wins with 21 in 1881, was the difference-maker. Ewart yielded 4 runs over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 14 hits, walked 0, and struck out 7. His record improves to 5-6. The Creams fall to 8-10 and continue their lackluster start in 1883.

In the bottom of the first, Cornbread Collins delivered a clutch hit. With two gone and the bases loaded, the New York shortstop hit a 2-run single, putting the Columbians in front, 8-4.

"I didn't want to let them take the game from my hands," said Ewart.
