Unions Hand Indianapolis 7-4 Loss
The rain made it unbearable at times; nonetheless, the faithful who endured the elements enjoyed themselves.

The Philadelphia Unions topped the Indianapolis Westerners, 7-4, in Federal League action at Girard Grounds II. The game was highlighted by the performance of Philadelphia pitcher Thomas Goss. The 6th-place Westerners dropped to 64-67.

With one out in the bottom of the seventh, John Casey had a game-changing hit. The Unions first baseman slammed a 2-run single off Wilton Strickland, making the score 6-3, Philadelphia.

"Main thing is I want the team to win," Goss told a reporter after the game. "Just have to go out there, take care of my job, and give my team a chance to win."
