Creams Drop Unions, 8-2
Norm Schmitt, who is on pace for 237 strikeouts this season, had a strong outing for the Milwaukee Creams against the Philadelphia Unions at Girard Grounds. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 8-2 win. In 9 innings, Schmitt surrendered 10 hits, while striking out 2 and walking 1. He allowed 2 runs. The Creams saw their record improve to 18-34.

Ken Duncan had a big 2-run triple for the Creams in the top of the third inning. With Milwaukee leading 2-0 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he got a changeup from Mike McCord, who finished 3rd in the FL in innings pitched with 341.2 in 1878, and swatted a triple to left-center. It was his 4th triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Creams ahead, 4-0.

"What we get, we earn," Duncan told the Milwaukee Daily.
