Westerners Outmuscle New York, 12-8
Due in large part to center fielder Stan Violette, the Indianapolis Westerners sunk the New York Barons, 12-8. Violette was 2 for 3 with 2 singles and a walk, while scoring 3. Bill McDonald earned the win. Jack McKinley, who led the FL in innings pitched with 447.1 in 1885, took the loss for New York. New York now is 9-13.

In the bottom of the fifth, with the game tied, New York allowed the Westerners to go up, 5-4, on a New York error.

"It's nice to come out on top today," said Violette.
