Louisville Topples Philadelphia, 6-4
The Louisville Colts defeated the Philadelphia Unions, 6-4, in part because of first baseman Larry Buckley. Buckley went 2 for 3 with a double and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for the Colts. The Unions drop to 3-4 and continue their inconsistent start to the 1887 season.

Norm Heyward drove in one run for Louisville. The 30-year old shortstop had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fourth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Paul Bates. It was his 8th RBI of the season.

Louisville manager commended his team for "banging out a nice win."
