Westerners Drop Another One, 9-5
The Washington Federals bumped off the Indianapolis Westerners, 9-5, at Capitol Park. Charlie Patterson hit 2 singles and 2 doubles. He also had 5 runs batted in. Ronald Langford went 9 innings for Washington to pick up the win. The right-hander was charged with 5 runs. He scattered 7 hits, while walking 0 and striking out 4. His record improves to 4-7. The Westerners fall to 12-21 and continue their lackluster start in 1887.

The game was on the line with two out in the top of the eighth inning, but Ronald Langford didn't flinch. With runners on 2nd and 3rd and Indianapolis trailing 7-5, Langford retired Karl Eicher to end the threat. "Nothing to it," said Langford, with a wink.
