Though he had a stellar game, William Williamson could not prevent his team, the Washington Federals, from losing, 9-4, to the Indianapolis Westerners. Williamson was 2-4 with a home run and a triple. He scored 3 runs. Wilton Strickland got credit for the win, improving to 5-6. He allowed 4 runs on 11 hits in 9 innings. The win gives the Westerners a record of 13-26.

Bill Windom had a big 2-run triple for the Westerners in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Indianapolis leading 2-1 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he got a curveball from Tom Ewart, who finished 5th in the FL in innings pitched with 371.0 in 1881, and swatted a triple to center. It was his 4th triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Westerners ahead, 4-1.

"We came out aggressive," said Westerners manager . "We came out swinging the bats."
