Westerners Sneak Past Unions, 9-8
The Westerners grabbed a win, 9-8, at Western Grounds, overcoming a fine effort from Philadelphia pitcher Mike Loughlin. Loughlin went 0 innings and allowed no runs. The loss makes Philadelphia 35-53.

The defining moment came in the bottom of the ninth for Indianapolis. That's when Lonnie Lohman hit a run-scoring double off 27-year old right-handed pitcher Bancroft King to win the game. The home crowd went wild.

"He who laughs last laughs best," Lohman said, postgame.
