Blue Caps Bedevil Cyclones, 8-7
The Cleveland Blue Caps defeated the Chicago Cyclones, 8-7, at Lakeside Grounds. Cleveland was led by 40-year old first baseman Will Hickman, who was 3-5 with 3 singles, while scoring 2 times. The third-place Cyclones dropped to 53-39.

Up to bat in the bottom of the ninth, 26-year old right fielder Matt Lindsley had a chance to be the hero. Chicago pitcher Doug Crockett wanted to foil that plan. But with two outs, Lindsley reached on an error by the 2B, driving in 2 runs. The Blue Caps had themselves a thrilling win.

"Not to put too fine a point on it," said Hickman, "but we really needed that win."
