Unions Over Westerners, 5-3
Thomas Goss, who finished 3rd in the FL in innings pitched with 461.2 in 1882, had a strong outing for the Philadelphia Unions against the Indianapolis Westerners at Western Grounds. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 5-3 win. Goss, who finished 2nd in the FL in strikeouts with 249 in 1885, went the distance for Philadelphia. He gave up 3 runs on 6 hits. The Unions raised their record to 19-32.

Philadelphia took a 5-3 lead on Goss's 2nd double of the season. The 2-run double, which he hit off Wilton Strickland in the top of the sixth, propelled Philadelphia to the win.

"I'd like to pitch a complete game every time," said Goss.
