| Unions Lose at Home, 4-3, to Pittsburgh | Bancroft King, who finished 3rd in the FL in innings pitched with 554.1 in 1884, pitched well, but the Philadelphia Unions still fell short, losing, 4-3, to the Pittsburgh Vulcans at Girard Grounds II. Stanley Lamb, the winning pitcher, is now 19-15. He went 9 innings, allowing 3 runs on 12 hits, while fanning 2 and walking 1. Pittsburgh bumps their record to 44-39 with the win.
John Clark, who finished 4th in the IA in home runs with 3 in 1882, had a direct impact on the outcome. Clark contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the eighth inning to put Pittsburgh up, 4-0.
Clark attributed the win to his team's "dogged determination."
