Ashe Leads Vulcans to 3-1 Win over Federals
George Ashe, who finished 2nd in the IA in stolen bases with 35 in 1885, never let the Federals get in a groove. The right-hander used his bread and butter, his curveball, to pitch the Vulcans to a win, 3-1. With the win, Pittsburgh improves its record to 15-9.

Ashe confounded Washington hitters. Over 9 innings, he allowed 1 run on 5 hits.

Ashe attributed the win to his team's "determination."
