Philadelphia Rallies for 3-1 Win
Pitcher Bancroft King was rock solid in helping the Philadelphia Unions beat the Indianapolis Westerners, 3-1. Philadelphia, now 32-26, holds down third place in the Federal League.

Philadelphia took advantage of an error in the top of the ninth inning. The game was tied, 1-1, when Alexander Faulk hit a 2-run single that was misplayed. It put the Unions in front, 3-1.

"Watch and learn," said Faulk. "This is what good pitching looks like."
