Excelsiors Win, 5-3, Versus Pittsburgh
Thomas Goss, who finished 3rd in the FL in innings pitched with 461.2 last year, had a strong outing for the New York Excelsiors against the Pittsburgh Vulcans at Vulcan Grounds. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 5-3 win. The win puts New York at 4-4.

New York took a 5-3 lead on Paul Wayman's 3rd double of the season. The 2-run double, which Wayman hit in the top of the ninth, left Pittsburgh pitcher John Babbitt visibly frustrated.

"Even if things get a little hairy, Thomas trusts his ability," said New York manager .
