| Unions Corral 5-2 Win | The Philadelphia Unions picked up a win at Lakeside Grounds, dropping the Cleveland Blue Caps, 5-2. Mike McCord, who finished 4th in the FL in ERA with 2.13 in 1880, was the difference-maker. McCord, now 18-33, was the winner. In 9 innings, he gave up 9 hits, while striking out 3, walking 0, and allowing 2 runs. With the victory, the Unions record stands at 36-51.
Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for John Casey? The Philadelphia first baseman had a run-scoring double in the top of the first inning to put the Unions on top, 1-0. For the game, Casey had 1 double and 1 single in 3 at-bats.
McCord called winning a team effort. "It's not the same guy every time," he said. "It's the sum of the parts."
