Sturgeons Use Late Rally to Win
Philadelphia got a terrific performance from pitcher Doug Crockett, but it wasn't enough to beat the Detroit Sturgeons. Detroit won the Girard Grounds contest, 5-2. Crockett threw 9.0 innings of 6-hit ball for the losing team. The win puts the Sturgeons at 51-66, while the Unions drop to 64-45.

The game was at a stalemate until shortstop Matt McFall came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing Philadelphia pitcher Doug Crockett, he hit a 0-2 changeup for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Detroit on top, 3-2.

"We'll enjoy this win," said McFall. "But there's more we hope to accomplish."
