| Unions Get 6-3 Win Versus Pittsburgh | The Philadelphia Unions topped the Pittsburgh Vulcans, 6-3, in Federal League action at Girard Grounds II. The game was highlighted by the performance of Philadelphia pitcher Thomas Goss. Goss, now 15-9, was the winner. In 9 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 4, walking 3, and allowing 3 runs. The victory gives Philadelphia a record of 49-39.
Alexander Faulk had a big 3-run home run for the Unions in the bottom of the sixth inning. With Philadelphia leading 2-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he sized up a sinker from George Ashe, who is tied for 10th in the FL in quality starts with 20, and punished it. The result was his 4th home run of the season, which put the Unions on top, 5-0.
"Thomas is one tough son of a gun," said Philadelphia manager .
