The Philadelphia Unions downed the Detroit Sturgeons, 7-5, at Girard Grounds. The Unions were led by Jeff Scruggs. Scruggs was 3 for 3 with a triple, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs. The third-place Unions now have a record of 63-43.

The game was at a stalemate until pitcher Thomas Goss came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Detroit pitcher Bill Poole, he hit a 2-2 sinker for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Philadelphia on top, 6-5.

"I had some good swings out there," said Scruggs.
