Columbians Slap 3-2 Loss on Philadelphia
The New York Columbians eked out a 3-2 win versus the Philadelphia Unions at Girard Grounds. Nobody did more than pitcher Martin Bird. He was terrific. In 9 innings, Bird surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 3 and walking 0. He allowed 2 runs. Philadelphia drops to 1-1.

Brick Cornwall, who finished 3rd in the FL in triples with 8 in 1878, had a direct impact on the outcome. Cornwall contributed a run-scoring ground out in the top of the fourth inning to put New York up, 2-1.

"Felt great, felt really good," said Bird.
