Detroit 8-4 Losers to Federals
The Washington Federals beat the Detroit Sturgeons, 8-4, at Riverside Park. Washington left fielder William Williamson banged out 2 singles and 1 double, while driving in 2 runs. Ronald Langford got credit for the win, improving to 1-4. He allowed 4 runs on 9 hits in 9 innings. The Federals, now 3-8, have not found much traction so far in 1887.

Williamson had a big at-bat with a runner on 3rd in the top of the fifth inning, when he hit a run-scoring double. The Federals went on to win.

"We take it day by day here," said Williamson, "and today was a good one for us."
