Unions Take Down Robins, 6-3
The Philadelphia Unions picked up a win at Girard Grounds, dropping the Rochester Robins, 6-3. Mike McCord, who finished 2nd in the FL in innings pitched with 523.2 in 1879, was the difference-maker. McCord, who finished 3rd in the FL in innings pitched with 341.2 in 1878, went the distance for Philadelphia. He gave up 3 runs on 8 hits. The Unions sit in 6th place in the Federal League with a record of 31-43.

The game was at a stalemate until second baseman Joe Philpott came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Rochester pitcher Tom Bell, he hit a 1-0 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Philadelphia on top, 4-3.

"We're feeling good in this clubhouse right now after that one," McCord told the Philadelphia Citizen.
