Sturgeons Rally Late to Nip Colts
Starting pitcher Martin Bird gave the Detroit Sturgeons a rock-solid performance, helping his team defeat the Louisville Colts, 3-2, at Riverside Park. The Colts drop to 4-8, as their fitful start to the 1888 campaign continues.

The decisive blow was delivered by Joe Cavender in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a solo home run off 24-year old right-handed pitcher Sam Barnhill to win the game for Detroit. The home crowd went nuts.

"This place was rockin'," Cavender said.
