Sturgeons Win, 5-3, at Philadelphia
Soggy conditions did not keep Detroit and Philadelphia from playing their scheduled game.

The Detroit Sturgeons picked up a win at Girard Grounds II, dropping the Philadelphia Unions, 5-3. Bill Poole, who is tied for 9th in the FL with a .402 slugging percentage, was the difference-maker. The second-place Sturgeons are now 78-57, the Unions 74-56.

Detroit took a 4-3 lead on Jimmy Hart's 21st double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Hart hit in the top of the seventh, left Philadelphia pitcher Paul Bates visibly frustrated.

"The other side took advantage in some key situations," said Philadelphia manager .
