Unions Turn Back Blue Caps, 7-5
The Philadelphia Unions defeated the Cleveland Blue Caps, 7-5. Left Fielder John Tennison deserved a large share of the credit. Tennison went 2 for 3 with a double and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Unions. The winner was Mike McCord, who threw 133 pitches over 9 innings. The right-hander was charged with 5 runs on 16 hits. The win gives the Unions a record of 8-15.

With Philadelphia leading 4-3 in the bottom of the sixth, Mike McCord hit a run-scoring single off Cleveland pitcher Jack McKinley. It put the Unions ahead 5-3.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Tennison told a Philadelphia Citizen reporter. "Sometimes we just need to relax."
