Clutch Hitting Delivers Win for Unions
Philadelphia Unions starter Bancroft King found his groove in his team's 5-3 win over the Chicago Cyclones. King, now 10-11, was the winner. In 9 innings, he gave up 10 hits, while striking out 6, walking 3, and allowing 3 runs. The Unions raised their record to 20-34.

The game was at a stalemate until right fielder Leo Showalter came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing Chicago pitcher Ben Brownfield, he hit a 3-1 curveball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Philadelphia on top, 4-3.

"Bancroft did a good job of managing their lineup," said Philadelphia manager .
