Derby Grounds was the site for Federal League action featuring the St. Louis Pioneers and Louisville Colts.

Norm Heyward, who finished 5th in the FL in OPS with .801 in 1884, led Louisville to a win over St. Louis. The final score was 11-7. Heyward collected 2 runs batted in, while going 2 for 4 at the plate. The shortstop also scored 2 times. Louisville, at 55-41, occupies third place in the Federal League.

In the bottom of the third inning of a 1-1 tie, Louisville catcher Ken Duncan reached on an error by the SS, driving in 1 run. It broke the deadlock and put Louisville on top, 2-1.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Duncan. "And not try to do too much."
