Sturgeons Earn Win with Late Rally
Napoleon Crane powered the Detroit Sturgeons to a win over the Washington Federals. The final score was 8-7. The Detroit first baseman, who finished 3rd in the FL in stolen bases with 34 in 1886, was phenomenal. He stroked 2 extra-base hits, including 1 home run and 1 double. Detroit improves to 40-21 with the win. They lead their division by 4½ games.

Jimmy Hart was the walk-off hero for Detroit. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Sturgeons left fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"This place was jumping at the end," Hart said.
