Barons Take Down Sturgeons, 4-3
The New York Barons picked up a win at Columbia Field, dropping the Detroit Sturgeons, 4-3, in 11 innings. Martin Bird, who finished 5th in the FL in strikeouts with 292 in 1884, was the difference-maker. The Barons now own a record of 55-64.

Batting in the bottom of the 11th, 34-year old second baseman Bobby Utley had a real shot to win the game. Detroit pitcher Bill Poole was determined not to let it happen. But with two outs, Utley hit a run-scoring single. The Barons had a walk-off triumph.

"I got in a good groove," said Bird. "I was getting some swings and misses."
