Unions Take Down Sturgeons, 6-4
The Philadelphia Unions racked up a win at Riverside Park, bumping off the Detroit Sturgeons, 6-4, in 11 innings. Thomas Goss, who started for Philadelphia, pitched effectively for his team. The loss has the Sturgeons at 14-9.

The game was at a stalemate until first baseman John Casey came to bat in the top of the 11th. Facing Detroit pitcher Martin Bird, he hit a 2-1 fastball for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Philadelphia on top, 6-4.

"I think we all put in a good day's work," said Casey.
