Excelsiors Topple Bannermen, 6-4, as Johnston Shines
Behind the hitting of Curt Johnston, the New York Excelsiors stopped the Baltimore Bannermen, 6-4. Johnston was 3 for 3 with 2 doubles and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2 for the Excelsiors. At 30-54, the Excelsiors find themselves in 7th place in the International Association.

Jim Copple drove in one run for New York. With one out and the game tied in the top of the sixth inning, Copple, who led the FL in RBI with 67 in 1879, had a clutch at-bat. Facing Baltimore hurler Nate Shine, he hit a sacrifice fly to give the Excelsiors a 5-4 lead.

Johnston called the win "an overall solid one."
