Stars Win, 5-4, at Cincinnati
The Indianapolis Stars picked up a win at Queen City Grounds I, knocking off the Cincinnati Monarchs, 5-4. Starting pitcher Tom Kitts played a key role in the triumph. Kitts, who is tied for 8th in the IA in doubles with 4, went the distance for Indianapolis. He gave up 4 runs on 10 hits. The Monarchs fall to 7-9 and continue their uneven start to the 1883 season.

Indianapolis center fielder Paul Hillis contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the eighth. With two down, he hit a curveball to center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 11th hit of the season and put the Stars ahead, 5-1.

"For the most part, I made good pitches when I needed to," said Kitts.
