The Philadelphia Unions topped the New York Barons, 10-6, in Federal League action at Columbia Field. The game was highlighted by the performance of Philadelphia left fielder Mike Loughlin. Thomas Goss, who finished 3rd in the FL in wins with 23 in 1882, was the winning pitcher. Over 7 innings, he allowed 6 runs on 11 hits, with 4 walks and 8 strikeouts. By defeating New York, the 6th-place Unions improved to 33-49.

The Unions capitalized on an error in the top of the third inning. Philadelphia was leading 1-0 when Charlie Vanmeter hit a run-scoring single that was misplayed. It put Philadelphia in front, 2-0.

"It feels good to get this one," Vanmeter told the Philadelphia Daily.
