Unions Drop Vulcans, 13-4
The Philadelphia Unions racked up a win at Girard Grounds II, bumping off the Pittsburgh Vulcans, 13-4. Jack Malley, who started for Philadelphia, pitched effectively for his team. Malley yielded 4 runs over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 8 hits, walked 4, and struck out 6. His record improves to 15-20. The Unions win now puts them at 34-50.

A defensive lapse could have been costly for the Unions. In the top of the second, with Pittsburgh trailing 7-0, Jasper Kent hit a 2-run single. Philadelphia was able, nonetheless, to prevail in the end.
