Westerners Beat Barons, 7-5
Indianapolis picked up a win at Western Grounds, bumping off the New York Barons, 7-5. Pitcher Doug Crockett was a major reason the Westerners emerged victorious. Crockett, now 8-17, was the winner. In 9 innings, he gave up 10 hits, while striking out 4, walking 2, and allowing 5 runs. Indianapolis is now 25-39.

Will Wessels, who finished 3rd in the FL in extra base hits with 45 in 1885, aided the Indianapolis cause with a run-scoring ground out in the bottom of the sixth. For the game, the third baseman was 2 for 5 with a double, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once.

"To get where we want to as a team, we all have to do things out of our comfort zone," Wessels told the Indianapolis Daily.
