Unions Cut Down Sturgeons, 10-7
The Philadelphia Unions topped the Detroit Sturgeons, 10-7, in Federal League action at Girard Grounds II. The game was highlighted by the performance of Philadelphia left fielder Mike Loughlin. Earning his 1st save for Philadelphia was Bancroft King. Philadelphia bumps their record to 27-46 with the win.

Leo Showalter had a big 2-run double for the Unions in the bottom of the first inning. With Philadelphia leading 1-0 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he got a fastball from Cy Verret, who is tied for 10th in the FL in wins with 11, and swatted a double to right-center. It was his 9th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Unions ahead, 3-0.

"We'll kick back tonight and enjoy this win," said Loughlin.
