Unions Nip Pioneers, 8-7
The Philadelphia Unions dumped the St. Louis Pioneers, 8-7, in large part due to center fielder Mike McCord. On the day, McCord was 2 for 4 with a double and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 3 for the Unions. The loss makes St. Louis 50-48.

In the top of the seventh, Philadelphia left fielder Clipper Smith had a productive at-bat. With runners on 1st and 2nd and no one out, Smith stroked a run-scoring single to left. It made the score 8-1, Philadelphia. For the game, he was 3-5 with 3 singles.

"There's losing your stroke and finding your stroke," said McCord. "I guess I've found mine."
