Columbians Handle Unions, Grab 10-6 Win
The New York Columbians defeated the Philadelphia Unions, 10-6, at Columbia Field. Jefferson McMillen, who finished 4th in the FL in RBI with 68 in 1881, was a standout performer for New York. His 2 hits included 1 single and 1 double -- this in addition to the 2 runs he scored and 3 he knocked in. Martin Bird was the winner. He's now 11-10. The loser was 23-year old right-handed pitcher Bancroft King. The 5th-place Columbians go to 27-30.

The game turned with two out in the bottom of the fourth. That's when McMillen hit a run-scoring single off Bancroft King. It propelled the Columbians into the lead, 6-5.

Columbians manager wasn't all too pleased, despite the win, telling reporters that the performance highlighted some clear areas for improvement moving forward. He refused to be more specific, however. "I'm not gonna publicize our weaknesses," he said. "That stuff stays in the clubhouse."
