McCord Stars in 12-4 Unions Win
The Philadelphia Unions beat the Louisville Colts, 12-4, at Girard Grounds II. Philadelphia shortstop Mike McCord, who finished 3rd in the FL in innings pitched with 341.2 in 1878, collected 3 singles and 1 double with 1 RBI. The first-place Colts dropped to 82-37.

Dave Foley went 1-3 with a walk, while adding 2 RBI for Philadelphia. The 27-year old third baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the third. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 4-4 tie with a 2-run single off Ed Lane. It was his 82nd hit of the season.

"I like to lead by example," said McCord. "I'm glad I could contribute to a good win."
