Unions Lose Late to Sturgeons
Despite a fine performance by first baseman John Casey, the Philadelphia Unions lost to the Detroit Sturgeons, 10-5. Casey was 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Cy Verret picked up the win, improving his season record to 6-7. He struck out 2 in 9 innings. The third-place Sturgeons have a record of 28-19.

The game was at a stalemate until center fielder Joe Cavender came to bat in the top of the eighth. Facing Philadelphia pitcher Paul Bates, he hit a 0-1 splitter for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Detroit on top, 7-5.

"Enjoyed this one," Cavender told the Detroit Daily News. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
