Unions Handle New York, Snag 6-1 Win
The Philadelphia Unions downed the New York Barons, 6-1, at Girard Grounds II. Stellar pitching by Jack Malley had a lot to do with it. The left-hander, who is tied for 7th in the FL with a 1.09 WHIP, handcuffed his opponent all game. In 9 innings, Malley surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 3 and walking 1. He allowed 1 run. Philadelphia is in third place in the Federal League with a record of 53-41.

Leo Showalter, who finished 4th in the FL in batting average with .323 in 1877, aided the Philadelphia cause with a run-scoring single in the bottom of the second. For the game, the right fielder was 1-4.

Said losing manager : "The list goes on and on of things we just flat out didn't do."
