Indianapolis Westerners (27-53) 4 2 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 8 12 5

Indianapolis Falls Again, 12-8
Good production from shortstop Mike McCord helped the Philadelphia Unions topple the Indianapolis Westerners, 12-8. McCord was 2-4 with a home run. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for the Unions. Picking up the win was Jack Malley. He went 8.2 innings, allowing 8 runs on 12 hits. The left--hander struck out 4 and walked 1. Bancroft King earned the save for Philadelphia, his 2nd of the year.

Alexander Faulk, who is tied for 6th in the FL with a .336 batting average, aided the Philadelphia cause with a run-scoring single in the bottom of the fourth. For the game, the catcher went 2-5 with 2 singles.

"If the personal accolades come, so be it," said McCord. "I just want to win ballgames."

The misery continues for the Westerners, who have now dropped 14 in a row.
