Westerners Hand Washington 4-1 Loss
Indianapolis turned a good effort from starter Bill McDonald into a win over the Washington Federals at Western Grounds. The final score was 4-1. McDonald, who is tied for 10th in the FL in wins with 2, went the distance for Indianapolis. He gave up 1 run on 7 hits. The Federals fall to 5-9 and continue their sputtering start to the 1887 season.

With Indianapolis trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the fifth, McDonald hit a 2-run single off Washington hurler Norm Schmitt. It was the 3rd hit of the season for McDonald and put his team ahead, 2-1.

McDonald called the win a testament to his team's "grit."
