Philadelphia Doubles Up Detroit, 8-4
Philadelphia picked up a win at Girard Grounds II, bumping off the Detroit Sturgeons, 8-4. Pitcher Thomas Goss was a major reason the Unions emerged victorious. In 9 innings, Goss surrendered 7 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 1. He allowed 4 runs. Even with the win, the Unions have a dismal 14-26 record.

Mike Loughlin had a big 3-run home run for the Unions in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Philadelphia leading 3-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he sized up a fastball from Martin Bird, who is on pace to win 23 games this season, and punished it. The result was his 4th home run of the season, which put the Unions on top, 6-0.

Loughlin expressed little emotion after the game. "Every game we win now," he said, "is one less win we'll need to get in the end."
