Walk-Off Seals 66th Victory for Excelsiors
The New York Excelsiors topped the Montreal Tigers, 4-3, in International Association action at Excelsior Grounds. The game was highlighted by the performance of New York pitcher Grant Dorsey. In 10 innings, Dorsey surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 3 and walking 2. He allowed 3 runs. New York raised its record to 66-55 with the win.

The defining moment came in the bottom of the tenth for New York. That's when Willis Gaylord hit a run-scoring double off fan favorite Joe Henry to win the game. The home crowd went wild.

"This place was rockin'," said Dorsey.
