Unions Snatch Late Win
Philadelphia picked up a win at Riverside Park, bumping off the Detroit Sturgeons, 10-3. Pitcher Bancroft King was a major reason the Unions emerged victorious. After today's action, Philadelphia sits at 63-49, while Detroit falls to 48-65.

The game was at a stalemate until right fielder Leo Showalter came to bat in the top of the tenth. Facing Detroit pitcher George Harmon, he hit a 0-2 changeup for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Philadelphia on top, 4-3.

"This win gets us that much closer to where we want to be," Showalter said in postgame remarks.
