The New York Excelsiors defeated the Cincinnati Monarchs, 6-4, in International Association action at Excelsior Grounds. New York pitcher Candy Lemmons had a standout performance. Lemmons, now 18-34, was the winner. In 9 innings, he gave up 7 hits, while striking out 0, walking 1, and allowing 4 runs. New York bumps their record to 43-76 with the win.

New York took a 5-4 lead on Willis Gaylord's 7th double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Gaylord hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Cincinnati pitcher Ashton Slake visibly frustrated.

"This game will humble you at times and you've got to buck up and deal with it," said Cincinnati manager .
