Cleveland Drops Philadelphia, 7-3
Dan Hicks, who is tied for 9th in the FL with a 3.8 K/9 rate, had a strong outing for the Cleveland Blue Caps against the Philadelphia Unions at Girard Grounds. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 7-3 win. Hicks got the win, improving to 27-13. He gave up 8 hits and walked 2 over 9 innings. He allowed 3 runs. With the win, Cleveland pushed its record to 48-34.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Will Wessels? The Cleveland shortstop had a bases-clearing double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Blue Caps on top, 4-1. For the game, Wessels had 1 double and 2 singles in 4 at-bats.

Wessels called the win the result of "everyone working in tandem."
