Sturgeons Shrug Off Philadelphia, 12-2
The Detroit Sturgeons scored a convincing win at Girard Grounds II, defeating the Philadelphia Unions, 12-2. One of the hitting stars was Tom Moore, who is on pace for 53 RBI this season, who was 2 for 4 with a home run and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 4 and driving in 2. The Federal League-leading Sturgeons have a record of 51-31.

Detroit relied on the hitting of Sam Booth to pick up the win. The right fielder ripped a 2-run single in the top of the fourth inning to put the Sturgeons on top, 3-2. For the game, Booth had 1 triple and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Not much went right for us," Philadelphia manager said, when asked afterward about the game.
